 December 9-11 & 16-18
Fenimore Gallery at Proctors
A heartwarming musical family comedy about an enchanting village where everyone enthusiastically prepares for the holiday morning ALL the time. Exchanging presents but never opening them, decorating and undecorating the tree...it's all part of their simple and content daily life.

Schenectady Civic Players
In his final comedy, Noel Coward takes us behind the scenes of a new West End production. Conjuring up a backstage world of talent and treachery, he creates a gallery of characters, including a temperamental leading lady, a ruthless director, jaded old troupers, and an innocent young playwright.
