The Holiday Theater Roundup

A really great collage I made. Or at least, a collage I made.

From the Hatbox’s adaptation of a Christmas Carol to a pantomime version of Jack and the Beanstalk at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse to the reasons why, after 83 years, the Peterborough Players are offering their first winter season, NHPR’s Sean Hurley has a holiday theater round-up for the month of December. 

A list of the must see December shows in New Hampshire (courtesy of theater critic Michael Curtis, co-host of the NHPR Theater Podcast "The Granite Stage").
