Presented by Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers
Coming here from the Pontine Theatre in Portsmouth, NH
Pontine Theatre Co-Artistic Directors, Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers, share their original adaptations of two Christmas stories written by New England artists. The Untold Adventures of Santa Claus, by Ogden Nash, is a humorous story poem that reveals how Santa helped George Washington's crossing the Delaware; dealt with an unruly Australian kangaroo; and created an urban ruckus by impersonating a street-corner Santa. Christmas in Our Town, by Hanover NH's Alice Van Leer Carrick, is an evocative memoir of family Christmas in the early years of the 20th century, including the annual Hanover "Mystery Play," which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2017.
