"The Elves & the Shoemaker" Presented by the Atlantic Coast Theatre for Youth

The classic Brothers Grimm story takes the stage as an original musical with new lyrics set to traditional holiday melodies.  An Elf must help a poor shoemaker with assistance from some of the elves in the audience. Don Gruel & Noel Holland of A.C.T. for Youth have been touring throughout the U.S. since 1995, giving hundreds of performances for more than 70,000 audience members annually.

Performances begin at 10:00am and last approximately one hour. Picnic facilities and open areas are available at the nearby Riverfront Park for groups to enjoy an outdoor lunch following the performance.
