The Manhasset SCA Family Theatre has been entertaining Manhasset and neighboring communities for decades. Family Theatre is the perfect event for people of all ages: children, parents, grandparents and the like will enjoy two professional productions during the 2015-16 season.
A Charlie Brown Christmas will be performed by Plaza Theatrical Productions on Saturday, Dec. 5, at the Munsey Park Elementary School Auditorium at 2 p.m. When Charlie Brown complains about the overwhelming materialism that he sees amongst everyone during the Christmas season, Lucy suggests that he become director of the school Christmas pageant. Charlie Brown accepts, but it proves to be a frustrating struggle. When an attempt to restore the proper spirit with a forlorn little fir Christmas tree fails, he needs Linus’ help to learn what the real meaning of Christmas is.
Skippyjon Jones, Snow What, will be performed by Theatreworks USA on Saturday, Feb. 6, 2016, at the Munsey Park Elementary School Auditorium at 2 p.m.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the bravest Chihuahua of them all? Skippyjon Jones, the Siamese cat who thinks he’s a dog. While his sisters listen to Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Skippy bounces on his big-boy bed and heads off for the real adventure awaiting him in his closet. Once inside, he finds himself in a magical snowy forest of make-believe, where the seven Chimichangos challenge him with his most dangerous task yet: to wake up Nieve Que, the frozen princess, by kissing her. Yuck. Will this hero agree to don a prince’s pantelones and save his poochitos?
