'Twas the Night before Christmas
by Boerne Community Theatre
Oct. 16 - Oct. 17 (2016)
"Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse." But wait! A mouse is stirring - because Santa missed his house last year. Before you can say "Merry Christmas!", we're off on the wild adventures of a mouse, an elf, and a spunky little girl who just won't take no for an answer. This G-rated show will be suitable for the entire family.
