"Twas The Night Before Christmas"
To Be Presented By Whole Backstage

December 1, 2011
Everyone remembers hearing or even reciting the famous Clement Moore poem "T was the Night Before Christmas". This year at the Whole Backstage Theatre in Guntersville, you and your family can follow the Moore family as Clement struggles to finish up the famous writing just before the arrival of Santa himself. Mr. Moore said "not even a mouse" was stirring in the house, but this particular night a mouse named Izzy was playing with the Moore children when she escaped her cage and was tossed out of the house by Mrs. Moore.

See if Izzy can make it back in time to celebrate the family and if Mrs. Moore will allow her back in the house. "After all, a rodent in the house is just plain unsanitary."

With a cast of 60 plus, "T was the Night Before Christmas" will put you in the right mood for the holiday season. You will even hear some holiday classics, and sing along to some of your favorite new songs.
