Bradley Backstage: Heather Pierson Jazz Trio

Bradley Backstage presents the Heather Pierson Jazz Trio and their annual "Charlie Brown Christmas Concert" at 7:30 PM! The trio, featuring singer/pianist Heather Pierson, bassist Shawn Nadeau, and drummer Craig Bryan, will perform the entirety of the Charlie Brown Christmas album as recorded by the Vince Guaraldi Trio. Fifty years on, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" still holds up as one of the most endearing Christmas tales ever told. The musical score, composed by the late Vince Guaraldi, is just as poignant and touching as the story and includes the hugely popular hit "Linus and Lucy". His gentle jazz riffs established musical trademarks that, to this day, still prompt smiles of recognition.

The Great American Trailer Park Christmas Musical

Performances 7:30pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday; 3:30pm Sunday
The Great American Trailer Park Christmas Musical by David Nehls and Betsy Kelso; Directed by Christopher Bellis
It’s holiday time down in Armadillo Acres (North Florida’s premier mobile-living community), and everyone’s filled with warmth and beer. But when a freak bout of amnesia strikes the trailer park Scrooge, neighborly love is put to the test. Be on hand as Betty, Lin, and Pickles jingle all the way with some new neighbors in an all-new, all-trailer-park musical! This companion to the original Great American Trailer Park Musical is just as much of a cat-fightin’, sun-worshippin’, chair-throwin’ good time – but with tinsel and Keg Nog.

The campaign continues through December.

Shift Your Shopping’s mission is to “build a tradition that strengthens local economies, expands local employment, nurtures a sense of community and provides a more relaxed, fun and rewarding holiday shopping experience.” As part of the Shift Your Shopping festivities, throughout Thanksgiving Weekend, November 29 through December 1st, the White Mountain Independents will once again be celebrating Plaid Friday and Small Business Saturday and, new this year, shoppers can play along with the Shop Small and Win Big Game, which lasts all weekend into Monday. Everything is easy – simply follow the blue flags!

A Christmas Carol with Will Rhys

Mr. Rhys, who has performed in and directed many versions of “A Christmas Carol,” has adapted Dickens’s magical tale to create this unique production in which he weaves together the joy of story-telling with his skills as an actor to bring each character vividly to life. This wonderful celebration of redemption and change is suitable for children ages ten and older.

Rhys has had an extensive career as an actor and director, appearing in shows from Broadway to off-Broadway to off-off-Broadway and has performed and created roles at regional theaters across the country including Cleveland Play House, Milwaukee Repertory Theater and National Theatre of the Deaf. He served as artistic director at Cleveland Play House, where he appeared in more than 30 plays and directed over 25 productions. Recently, he was honored with induction into Cleveland Play House’s Hall of Fame.

Mr. Rhys is a founding member of National Theatre of the Deaf and was appointed an artistic director of the company in 1992. From 2001 to 2008 he served as education director for Goodspeed Musicals in East Haddam, Connecticut and was the librarian for Goodspeed Musical’s Scherer Library of Musical Theatre, which houses the second largest collection of musical theater material in the United States.

In Maine, where Mr. Rhys now makes his home, he has directed at Theater at Monmouth and appeared in productions with Freeport Shakespeare Festival, American Irish Repertory Ensemble, Portland Stage Company and Good Theater. At Good Theater he was lauded for his performance of the role of Gunner in “The Outgoing Tide,” and his “A Christmas Carol” is among Good Theater on Tour’s offerings.

The amazingly talented Will Rhys brings his own adaptation of the Dickens classic to life as he plays every character in A Christmas Carol! A true tour de force performance that is not to be missed. Great entertainment for the entire family.

“Rhys brought Dickens’ world vividly to life. His performance was spirited and infectious. It’s amazing what he manages to do… a marvel to watch… a gifted and fascinating storyteller. Rhys magically conjures up the world of Dickens’ beloved Christmas tale…elevates storytelling to an art.” – Portland Press Herald.

The performance of A Christmas Carol will be 1 hour 45 minutes in length with one intermission.
