We’re getting a New Deal for Christmas! Based on the popular comic strip, Annie tells the extraordinary story of a little orphan who ends up in the lap of luxury with Depression-era billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Unlike most of the other children at the wicked Miss Hannigan’s orphanage, Annie believes that her parents will one day return to claim her. When Mr. Warbucks offers to adopt her, she asks the most powerful man in America to help find her real mom and dad instead, and he agrees. With scrappy orphans, sleazy con artists, a magical mansion staff, and an iconic American president, Broadway’s favorite underdog story comes to vibrant new life on The Market stage just in time for the holiday season!
November 29-December 16
Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30pm

Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings – The Funny, Feel Good Holiday Musical
The Plaids are back to do their Christmas Special! At first, Francis, Jinx, Smudge and Sparky aren’t sure why they’ve returned to Earth for another posthumous performance, but a phone call from the heavenly Rosemary Clooney lets them know that they’re needed to put a little harmony into a discordant world. Sprinkled among the Christmas offerings are audience favorites, like their riotous three-minute-and-eleven-second version of The Ed Sullivan Show – this time, featuring the Rockettes, the Chipmunks and The Vienna Boys Choir, as well as a Plaid Caribbean Christmas that puts the “Day-O” in Excelsis! This truly “heaven-sent” holiday treat will lift audiences’ spirits and fill them with nostalgia for a bygone era of classic music sung in perfect harmony.
Directed and choreographed by Kimberlee Ferreira with musical direction by Chase McAbee

Mount St. Helen’s nuns are putting on a Christmas show which is an original ballet based on “The Nutcracker“. The show is filled with the traditional “nunsense humor” and one-liners that have made the Nunsense shows so popular.
Back by popular demand!! Instead of performing Charles Dickens’ beloved holiday classic for the umpteenth time, three actors decide to perform every Christmas story ever told- plus Christmas traditions from all around the world, seasonal icons from ancient times to topical pop-culture, and every carol ever sung. A madcap romp through the holiday season!
Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some) contains mild adult language and “The Santa Talk”

All Aboard THE POLAR EXPRESS! This memorable journey will take you on an incredible journey! Believe the magic this Holiday season!
Over 88,000 guests rode THE POLAR EXPRESS with the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad in 2017 and we hope to see you in 2018! The 1¼ hour round-trip excursion comes to life as the train departs the Bryson City depot for a journey through the quiet wilderness for a special visit at the North Pole. Set to the sounds of the motion picture soundtrack, guests on board will enjoy warm cocoa and a treat while listening and reading along with the magical story. Children’s faces show the magic of the season when the train arrives at the North Pole to find Santa Claus waiting. Santa will board THE POLAR EXPRESS, greeting each child and presenting them with a special gift as in the story, their own silver sleigh bell. Christmas carols will be sung as they return back to the Bryson City Depot.
THE POLAR EXPRESS begins November 9, 2018, and operates through December 31, 2018.

The 2018 Santa Fun Run/Walk 5K will take place at:
December 15, 2018 – 9am
Leroy Mathis Park
50 Bishop St
Inman, Sc 29349
Packet Pickup/Race Day Registration: 8am-9am
Once again, the only cost to run is a toy donation. These toys are given to kids in the Inman Community via the Inman Police Department. SCSAR and CERT Support coordinate the event and as always, the big man himself, Santa Claus, will be there for those who have last minute Christmas requests.
Last year, 162 people ran this race and I hope we can come close, maybe even surpass that number this year (see the pic from last year – awesome community support). However, the only way we can do that is for you, your family, your friends, your church groups, your community groups, etc to take part in this awesome race for a great cause.
If anyone has any questions regarding the race, feel free to call 864-595-5368. To register, click here: https://www.myregnow.com/robbie-swoffo…/…/2018-santa-fun-run. Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope we’re afforded the opportunity to have a great crowd which will result in a lot of happy kids on Christmas Day.
