Vermont Family Theatre Presents Annual Holiday Show

MIKE OLMSTEAD Sports Editor

ORLEANS – With the holiday season swinging into full force, it is that magical time of year when local schools, dance troupes, and community theaters put on their winter performances.

For Vermont Family Theatre (VFT), that means it is time for their annual holiday show.

In year’s past VFT has done a variety of different shows for their winter production, and this year they had a couple of ideas floating in the air, but in the end they decided to go with a bit of a youth movement so to speak, as the cast of Deck the Halls: A VFT Musical Christmas Revue, will feature a younger cast made up of mostly teenagers and some of the up and coming youngsters that have been attending VFT’s summer camps and are honing their skills.

As the title indicates, this year’s program will feature a variety of classic holiday songs known to people young and old, as well as some dance numbers and a few surprises

that will bring a smile to the faces of those in attendance.

When asked about the direction she wanted the show to go in, VFT director Karen Perry said, “My vision for the show was to do all my favorite songs that I enjoyed growing up in the 50s.”

The show will definitely feature some of those timeless hits, as well as a few newer ones, so folks in attendance can expect something the whole family can enjoy.

Deck the Halls will premiere this Saturday, December 3, at 7:00 p.m. at the Municipal Building in Orleans.

If you can not make that show don’t worry, there will be two more shows after that, with a matinee show on Sunday, December 4 at 2:30 p.m., and another the following Saturday, December 10, at 7:00 p.m. once again.

Tickets will be available both at the door, or by reservation, and you can go to www. vermontfamilytheatre.weebly.com to make your reservations and to find out about ticket prices.
