Delightful, Audience-Participation Holiday Tale for the Family
Children and their parents can join in the fun when the Arena Players Children's Theater performs "The Toys Take Over Christmas" on Saturdays from November 27 through December 18 at 3:00 p.m. in the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum Education Center.
This delightful holiday tale, featuring music and audience participation, is the story of a hard-hearted toy maker who makes toys that are so realistic they seem almost alive. However, he refuses to sell any of his creations.
