Performance encourages embracing holiday spirit, family togetherness

'Tis the season to embrace the holiday spirit and bring families together for a Christmas performance hosted by the Stained Glass Theatre in Jefferson City.

Stained Glass Theatre will present its rendition of "A Charlie Brown Christmas," an animated television special based on Charles Schulz's "Peanuts" comic strip through Dec. 17.

The storyline within "A Charlie Brown Christmas" has helped refocus the attention of many families on the true joy of being around family and loved ones during the holiday season.

"We're excited to be able to put the show on for the Jefferson City community," Roger Martin of Stained Glass Theatre said. "We have a cast of all children - the play is exactly like the cartoon."

Directed by Mila Moore, the performance will revisit the time when Charlie Brown and the gang helped adults to remember what Christmas is truly about.

The performance will start at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at Stained Glass Theatre. Ticket prices are set at $9, except on opening day, when the price will be $7.

A family package is also available for $36. For reservations, call 573-634-5313.
