We heard about the NC Theatre presenting a Lythgoe Family Production of ALADDIN AND HIS WINTER WISH. This show is based on the Aladdin fairytale of a street rat with a dream, and follows the style of the traditional British Panto with singing, swinging and soaring adventure!

This show, produced by Kris & Becky Lythgoe, known for their involvement with “So You Think You Can Dance” and “American Idol,” is in the format of British Panto, featuring a modern version of the classic fairytale with pop music, comedy, audience participation, and family-friendly magic. “Aladdin and His Winter Wish” is appropriate for kids as young as 2 and is entertaining for the whole family!

Who is ready for Christmas? {New Family Friendly Christmas Movie}

Christmas is my favorite holiday! I may or may not be playing Christmas music at work each day. There is so much joy surrounding Christmas. Last week, I received word about a new Christmas movie that will be released in theaters nationwide on November 22, 2017, just in time for this holiday season.

The Man Who Invented Christmas is a delightful family film! Dan Stevens brings beloved author Charles Dickens to life as we follow the inspiration that helped him craft one of the most cherished novels of all time, A Christmas Carol. The movie tells of the magical journey that led to the creation of Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), Tiny Tim and other classic characters from A Christmas Carol. The film shows how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) mixed real life inspirations with his vivid imagination to conjure up unforgettable characters and a timeless tale, forever changing the holiday season into the celebration we know today.

Check out the official trailer and be sure to mark your calendars.
