Four free holiday theatre shows, six locations, three days of family fun!
Bright Star Touring Theatre, a national touring theatre company based in Asheville, NC, is coming to Massanutten Regional Library December 1 – 3, 2022, with four different holiday shows at six different locations across Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, and Page County. MRL is pleased to offer “Winter Fables,” “Stone Soup,” “Holidays Around the World,” and “A Dickens Tale” to the community as part of its nonprofit mission to provide ongoing literacy and outreach opportunities to all in its service area. Performances are free to the public and audience members do not need to be library card holders to attend.
All four family-friendly shows are appropriate for children ages Pre-K through elementary school and have uplifting messages and familiar literary themes which will resonate with attendees of all ages.
