At Play Theatre Roundup: 12/10 - 12/23

Wichita Community Theatre continues its run of Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And then some) now through December 23. Three actors bring together a fast, fun and furious look at every Christmas story, movie or TV special, and all the yuletide traditions we all remember (and some you never knew) in a whirlwind of word play, props, quick costume changes, and sight gags. This production is directed by Crystal Meek.

Mosley Street Melodrama continues its run of Shakespeare’s MacBethlehem Christmas or Wherefore Art Thou Saint Nick? The play is written by Tom Frye and the show will run through December 30 except December 24 and 25.

Irving Berlin’s White Christmas continues at Crown Uptown Theatre. A musical that captures the essence of the classic American Christmas, White Christmas is a timeless favorite for audiences young and old alike. The show follows veteran song-and-dance duo Bob Wallace and Phil Davis as they tag along with a pair of beautiful singing sisters to an idyllic Christmas show in snowy Vermont. The show is based on the Paramount Pictures 1954 film of the same name, with a libretto by David Ives and Paul Blake and music and lyrics by Irving Berlin.

The Forum Theatre presents A Christmas Carol featuring Carla Burns now through December 23. The Forum is also producing a new batch of shows in early 2013 that includes The Mystery of Irma Vep, Hello Dolly!, and The Full Monty
