Longmont Theater returns to its tradition of offering a show for the holidays. Thornton Wilder's "The Long Christmas Dinner" tells the story of four generations of the Bayard family over ninety years' worth of their Christmas dinners. "The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden" takes us on the Kirby family's summer drive to see Ma Kirby's married daughter. Both shows use techniques that in their day revolutionized the American theatre: a stage manager to narrate and advance the action, and an almost complete absence of scenery and props. In 1938, Wilder made these devices famous in his Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, Our Town. Longmont Theatre Company is proud to present these two Wilder gems this season as our holiday gift to our community and our audience. Be sure to get your tickets soon. This pair of shows will only play for seven performances. Don't get Scrooged this year--get Wilder at LTC! | |
