Celebrate the holidays with the Final Act Ensemble at their annual holiday performance. The show will take place at 7:00 PM, Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2019, in the Kate Goldman Children's Theatre at the Des Moines Community Playhouse. Tickets are $10 for all ages and are available at dmplayhouse.com, by phone at 515-277-6261, or at the Playhouse ticket office.
The performance features two segments from vintage radio programs and two classic Christmas tales. First Dick Tracy gets tangled up with a murder in Hollywood. Next audiences will take a trip to 79 Wistful Vista where Fibber McGee and Molly get involved in another nutty mix-up that'll have them laughing. And audiences won't want to miss out on two traditional tales sure to warm the heart, O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi and
Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The performance includes holiday songs from the period and a singalong at the end. Get set for an evening of nostalgia and holiday cheer with the Final Act Ensemble!
