Kick off the Christmas countdown with Elf the Musical at PARC

The countdown to Christmas may have just begun, but dozens of local children and teens have been working hard since August to bring the true spirit of the holiday to Plymouth.

They're the talented cast of Elf, Jr., a youth theater version of the Broadway musical based on the beloved 2003 movie. Brought together by Forever After Productions, and supported by parent volunteers who create costumes and scenery, they're ready to use their singing, dancing and acting talents to share the story of Buddy the Elf with the community.

“This show is hilarious and heartwarming, the perfect start to your holiday season,” says Sarah Chapman of Canton, the show's director. New songs such as “SparkleJollyTwinkleJingley” and “There is a Santa Claus” are sure to keep you dancing in your seats.

“These kids can’t wait to perform their show” says Mary Anne Martin, Music Director, “They have been hard at work since the summer preparing!”

The young cast will perform the show six times for the general public, with general admission tickets priced at just $10 apiece. Evening shows at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 9, Friday, Nov. 10 and Saturday, Nov. 11, and matinees at 2 p.m. Nov. 11 and 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Nov. 12 will all be presented at the Plymouth Arts and Recreation Complex, at 650 Church St. in downtown Plymouth.
