Elf Jr. The Musical

Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and that his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

This modern-day holiday classic is sure to make every young performer embrace his or her “inner elf” with plenty of large ensemble numbers featuring elves and (New Yorkers) of every type.

2025-01-24 19:30 - 21:00 | James F. Dean Community Theater, 133 S Main St, Summerville, SC, 29483, United States
Director: Bea Lemaster

This extraordinarily inventive comedy centers on the hilarious dilemma of a young architect who is visited by a man he’s never met but who saved his life in Vietnam. The unexpected visitor turns out to be an incredibly inept, hopelessly stupid “nerd” who outstays his welcome with a vengeance, leading to one uproarious incident after another, until the normally placid architect finds himself contemplating extreme measures to send his unwelcome guest packing.

Dean Community Theater, 133 S Main St, Summerville, SC, 29483, United States
In this well loved comedy, Frayne gives us a window into the inner workings of theatre as the playwithin-the-play gives audiences a look behind the scenes, progressing from flubbed lines and missed cues in the dress rehearsal to mounting friction between cast members in the final performance. Brimming with slapstick comedy, Noises Off is a delightful backstage farce, complete with slamming doors, falling trousers, and — of course — flying sardines!
