The Slightly Off-Center Players community theater group production will run for two weekends from Dec. 9 through Dec. 17, just in time to get people in the holiday spirit.
“We’ve traditionally done a holiday show in December,” said Patrick Myers, the Center Theatre’s executive director. “It’s a time when families enjoy coming out together to share a fun holiday experience. Our cast of local actors has been working hard since October and we’re all looking forward to seeing it come to life.”
