Through Friday, December 22, the Flat Rock Playhouse Mainstage presents <em>A Flat Rock Playhouse Christmas<\/em>. Through Sunday, December 17, theater lovers can enjoy <em>The Best Christmas Pageant Ever<\/em> at Flat Rock Playhouse Downtown. \u201cWith both productions, Flat Rock Playhouse is offering the chance for entire families to get a little holiday cheer,\u201d says Dane Whitlock, senior director of marketing and development for Flat Rock Playhouse. \u201cThere is nothing quite like the magic of live theater to bring families and communities together to share in a collective, transformative experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Best Christmas Pageant Ever<\/em> will be directed by Dave Hart. \u201cOur audiences will just adore Barbara Robinson\u2019s classic play about a Christmas pageant that goes wrong in every possible way,\u201d says Whitlock. Seats for <em>The Best Christmas Pageant Ever<\/em> start at $12.50.<\/p>\n<p><em>A Flat Rock Playhouse Christmas<\/em> will be directed and choreographed by Matthew Glover, who also wrote the revue. Glover started his theater career at the Flat Rock Playhouse when he was 11 years old. Since earning his BFA in musical theater from Elon University, Glover has performed in national tours, regional playhouses and on cruise lines. \u201cIt is a huge honor to come back and create a magical show in the place that gave me my start in the business,\u201d he says. \u201cI am really excited about bringing a brand-new show to Flat Rock Playhouse that has never been seen anywhere else.\u201d<em> A Flat Rock Playhouse Christmas<\/em> features a variety of holiday musical classics like<em> It\u2019s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year<\/em> and <em>God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen<\/em> mixed with country favorites by Dolly Parton and Vince Vance. The fifty-person cast includes dancers and singers from New York City alongside local dancers from Pat\u2019s School of Dance in Hendersonville and the Flat Rock Playhouse chorus.
