Mercer County Community College’s Kelsey Theatre is bringing out the holly as Forté Productions presents A Very Kelsey Christmas.
In a musical salute to the Christmas season, the 1950’s style variety show features many Kelsey Theatre regulars in a mix of comedy, skits and Broadway and pop favorites. After an positive reception to their debut production last year, Forté Productions invited guest performers from Maurer Productions OnStage, Pegasus Theatre Project, Rooftop Theatre Collaborative and Downstage Center Dance to add more merriment to the nostalgic theater experience.
Director John Zimmerman attributes the show’s popularity to the desire for fun times during the holiday season.
“This show delivers,” he said. “The efforts of our talented cast all add up to a special gift for Kelsey patrons. We hope that when they look back on Christmas 2016, this show will be one of their fond memories.”
Dates and times for the holiday event are Saturday, Dec. 10 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 11 at 2 p.m. Kelsey Theatre is located on the college’s West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors and $14 students/children. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Kelsey Box Office at (609) 570-3333 or online.
The theater is also an official drop-off site for the Marines Toys for Tots annual holiday drive. Patrons are encouraged to donate a new, unwrapped toy in the box located in the Kelsey Theatre lobby. Donations will be accepted through Monday, Dec. 12.
