–Theatre G
Prairie girls are in the house and will steal your heart.

Laura and Mary Ingalls help their Ma in the kitchen, do their chores and dress in their Sunday clothes for a gracious dinner, which means finding a way to include and be nice to the mean-spirited and snooty Nellie. The girls see the lesson that prairie families rely on each other, whether well-to-do or threadbare, everybody has something to contribute.  When the raging storm keeps Pa from securing the gifts he intended, the girls demonstrate they’ve internalized the lessons of inner fortitude and good will, and keep the spirit of Christmas alive.

Based on the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Adapted for the stage by James DeVita.
