‘Twas the Night Before Christmas at the Publick Playhouse, Dec 20

Prince George’s Publick Playhouse presents:
Education on Stage: ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

Tuesday, December 20, 2022, 10am and 11:15am

Prince George’s Publick Playhouse.

At times heartwarming and hilarious, this charming Christmas musical is complete with a jolly Santa, reindeer on the roof, moonlight on the snow, Ma and Pa in their caps, and sugarplums dancing in the dreams of hope children. Our careworn poet, Clement Moore, is struggling to write a Christmas poem. Clement, uninspired until his eyes and heart are opened by the loving, joyous images all about him in his own home and family, beings drafting his immortal poem with these words, ‘Twas the night before Christmas. His poem is a delight to his family and to many generations of families who cannot imagine Christmas without a visit from St. Nicholas.
