Most families around this time of year get together to decorate, celebrate, and eat. The show opens with a large family decorating for Christmas and two children who don’t really understand what all the fuss is about. Using popular holiday favorites mixed with new, lesser-known, and original songs, this show promises an evening of laughter and music that will touch your heart.

Featured songs include “We Need a Little Christmas”, “O Holy Night”, “Let There Be Peace on Earth”, “Mister Santa” and even a Gilbert and Sullivan parody. This cabaret was created and written by AUP owners R. Brian Noffke and Elizabeth Williams. Roger Smith arranged the music and serves as music director. The cast includes AUP alumni Katie Rae, Liz Porter, John Hayes, Denise Fort, Debbi Sponsler and Angelina Hofmann.

AUP newcomers include Lisa Davis, Nathan Jones, Cathy Tolzmann, and Christian Jones. Noffke is directing and Linda Rees of Dance Magic Performing Arts Center is choreographing.
