DECEMBER 18: Attend opening night of The Toy Shoppe
“This original musical, and The Marathon Performing Arts Center’s inaugural show, written by Kenny Rogers is one of those rare experiences that will leave you feeling better coming out than you did going in. ‘Shops like this…people like you…you’re a thing of the past!’ Hank Longley is told. He’s losing his toy shop to big business, progress, and a fast-paced, changing world. But he’s hanging on with his group of kids and a bit of magic in a place where the little things are important. It’s a place where it’s ok to slow down and appreciate the values handed down from generation to generation.” (Source)
If you can’t score tickets, try ice skating at The Cube!

DECEMBER 20: Go See the Best Christmas Pageant Ever!
“In this hilarious Christmas classic, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids–probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won’t believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head on. This delightful comedy is adapted from the best-selling Young Adult book, and has become a holiday favorite.” (Source)
