Huntsville stages 4 holiday productions this season, from ‘Christmas at Pemberley’ to ‘The Nutcracker’

Huntsville is setting the stage to enjoy holiday traditions and discover new festive shows.

Starting on Nov. 13-22, Theatre Huntsville presents Georgiana & Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley at the Von Braun Center Playhouse.

Inspired by Jane Austen’s beloved Pride and Prejudice, Georgiana & Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley is a continuation of the story that takes place a few years later during a Christmas celebration in the Darcy household. The two youngest siblings, Georgiana Darcy and Kitty Bennet, have become close friends and are now ready to take the spotlight in their own adventures. This heartwarming production is full of wit, warmth, romance and festive charm for all to enjoy. 

This is just the beginning to all of the holiday theater coming to Huntsville this season. Fantasy Playhouse presents A Christmas Carol at the Von Braun Center Playhouse Dec. 4-6 and 10-13. Based on the work of Charles Dickens, the audience follows the hard-hearted Ebenezer Scrooge on a life-changing journey through past, present and future.

Be swept away into a land of sugar plum fairies and dancing mice with The Huntsville Ballet Company’s performance of The Nutcracker on Dec. 11-13 at the Von Braun Center Playhouse. The 53rd annual production is accompanied by the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra as they use dance to tell this whimsical story of Clara and the Nutcracker. 

Experience a fan-favorite in a new way with The Rock’s holiday spectacular Elf: The Musical at the Dream Theatre Dec 11- 13. This family-friendly show follows Buddy the Elf from the North Pole to New York City as he discovers family, friendship and the joy of belonging. 

Whether enjoying an annual classic or giving a new festive story a try, Huntsville is ready to pull back the curtains and welcome the spirit of the holiday season.
