    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Susan Habas Thalian Association Community Theatre 910-251-1788 [email protected] TWICE THE HOLIDAY FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY WILMINGTON, NC – Thalian Association Community Theatre (TACT) is presenting two special holiday musical productions that families can enjoy together. First up is the youth theatre production and Wilmington premiere of Elf Jr. on the Second Street Stage at the HBHUSO/Community Arts Center. Based on the beloved 2003 hit movie, Elf Jr. tells the story of Buddy, a young orphan who mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. "We have something very special planned for the Elf Jr. audiences,” said Susan Habas, Thalian Association Community Theatre Executive Director. "The original Buddy, Will Ferrell, has filmed an introduction just for these performances. Mr. Ferrell has family here in Wilmington and as the father of three boys, he is very supportive of youth theatre arts and education." There will also be paintings of the local ‘elves’ who will be appearing on stage on display in the lobby of the Historic USO building. Painted by 28 artists from the Wilmington Art Association (WAA) during the run of the play, this marks the third collaboration between TACT and the WAA to support performing and visual arts education for our young people. The paintings will be on sale to the public with a portion of the proceeds to benefit the Community Arts Center. See the modern holiday classic and embrace your inner elf for one weekend only December 1st – 4th. Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 PM; Saturday and Sunday matinees at 3:00 PM.

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release DATE: November 2019 CONTACT: Kori Radloff, [email protected], 402-502-4641 Rose Theater spreads Christmas cheer with the return of Elf the Musical (OMAHA, Nebr.) Elf the Musical returns to The Rose Theater, spreading Christmas cheer for all to hear, November 29 - Dec. 22, 2019. The show, which is based on the cherished 2003 New Line Cinema hit, was last year’s holiday hit with a sold-out run. The Rose looks forward to sharing the production with even more family audiences in 2019. “Yes, we are remounting the very popular Elf the Musical,” says Rose artistic director Matthew Gutschick, who is directing Elf. “While it’s true that one reason we decided to bring this show back is to allow audiences another opportunity to see a show that we are really proud of, I also feel that it is never a bad time to feature a play that focuses on the obstacles that kindness faces in the world, and the ultimate victory of kindness. That is what this piece is fundamentally doing -- and doing in a very bold way.” Elf the Musical follows the story of Buddy (played by Dan Chevalier), an “elf” working at the North Pole who learns he is not an elf at all, but actually a human who crept into Santa’s magic bag of gifts when he was a baby. When he comes to grips with the reality of his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities, he embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity.
