'Elf Jingle's Christmas Surprise'

It’s Christmas Eve and Mrs. Claus is reading the last of the children’s letters to Elf Jingle, as they remember a certain foggy night.

This holiday, there will be some unexpected events, in our marionette and shadow puppet production, “Elf Jingle’s Christmas Surprise.”

There’s rebellion in the ranks at Loading Dock No. 12, for one thing, and the children are reporting that there’s no snow. Before everyone returns to the North Pole for Mrs. Claus’s hot cocoa, snow does arrive – along with a special snowman – and St. Nick manages to fill all the stockings with care.

The opening performance, at the Hazel Green Opera House, will be at 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4, during Hazel Green’s Annual Christmas Walk.

Performances continue at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10; 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11, and 2 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 27.

This year, we also will have our first school tours! If interested, call or email.

Tickets are $5 for adults and $4 for children. For information, call 608-732-6404.
