Madelines ChristmasBook and Lyrics by Jennifer Kirkeby, Music by Shirley MierBased on the book by Ludwig BemelmansDirected by Beatriz Esteban-MessinaIn an old house in Paris that was covered with vines lived 12 little girls in two straight lines. So begins this delightful story of Madelines Christmas! The day begins like any other day. Miss Clavel takes the 12 little girls on their morning walk. They go to the zoo and then back to school for their French history lesson. Suddenly disaster strikes when everyone gets the flu! Everyone that is, except for the ever resilient Madeline. Saddened that they may not be able to go home for Christmas, the girls and Miss Clavel take to their beds. But on Christmas Eve, the adventure begins when there is a knock at the front door.AUDITION DATES: September 15 6:00 and September 18 at 7:00Performance dates December 7, 8, 14, 15The cast of characters:MADELINE : The brave and endearing little girl who turns tragedy into triumph at Christmas for Miss Clavel and all of the girls at the Old House in Paris.
