Christmas is here and Franklin decides to have the best party ever! Beaver takes care of entertainment while Bear cooks the food, sampling everything he makes. Fox gathers Christmas decorations for the perfect Christmas tree that Franklin must find all by himself! Students join Franklin and friends as they go on magical adventures with a dancing snowman, a wacky gingerbread bear, and a trio of playful elves. Everyone, including audience members, celebrate the holiday season with lots of singing, dancing, and the Christmas spirit!
Performed with larger than life animated characters (actors in costumes), this musical features beloved Franklin the Turtle and his friends as we see them in story books. The breathtaking scenery gives audience members the impression of turning the pages of a giant story book. Franklin’s Family Christmas Concert is heartwarming. Young students leave the theater wanting to read all of Franklin’s stories!

A Celtic Christmas features stories, music, songs, and dances from the infinitely rich treasure of Ireland’s cultural heritage. The show recreates the joy and innocence of a night before Christmas in a farmhouse. Neighbors gather around a fire on a long wintry night. They laugh, tell stories, play music, and dance to find joy. Long before Riverdance, ordinary Irish men and women knocked sparks off the flagstone floors of their cottages with jigs, reels, and hornpipes and the rafters rang with the fiery music of the fiddle, bodhran, tin whistle, and the mesmerizing ulleann pipes. Along with Tomaseen Foley, gifted dancers and musicians bring to life such a night, taking us back to a time when television and electronic devices were not yet invented. This is an uplifting performance for everyone!
