SUMMARY:Metropolis Performing Arts Centre Presents “The Christmas Schooner\,” November 24\, 2026 - January 3\, 2027
DESCRIPTION:Metropolis Performing Arts Centre\, located in the heart of downtown Arlington Heights\, 111 W. Campbell St.\, is proud to announce the cast and creative team for The Christmas Schooner\, November 24\, 2026 – January 3\, 2027. The Christmas Schooner is presented with book by John Reeger and music and lyrics by Julie Shannon. The Metropolis production is directed by Patrick Tierney\, music directed by Kailey Rockwell and choreographed by Jenna Schoppe. \nIt is Christmastime in Manistique\, Michigan\, in the late 1880’s\, and a German-American family is preparing their home for the holidays. They receive a fateful letter from a cousin in Chicago\, who writes with longing about her desire for a Christmas tree to rekindle the beauty and magic of their childhood holiday traditions. As it turns out\, there are more than enough trees to go around in Manistique\, and one man is brave enough to captain the journey through the treacherous Lake Michigan waves. His voyages become a yearly tradition\, despite his wife’s misgivings – until a fateful voyage makes her realize the true importance of his mission. The Christmas Schooner is a heartfelt tale of compassion\, bravery and the commitment to make the world a better place\, based on the real-life stories of the sailors who brought magic to Chicago families all those years ago. \nThe regular performance schedule is Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 p.m.\, Saturdays at 2 and 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. with additional Wednesday performances\, Wednesday\, Dec. 23 at 7:30 p.m. and Wednesday\, Dec. 30 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. The performance on Saturday\, Dec. 5 at 2 p.m. will be closed-captioned\, and the performance on Thursday\, Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m. will be ASL interpreted.

SUMMARY:Metropolis Performing Arts Centre Presents “The Christmas Schooner\,” November 24\, 2026 - January 3\, 2027
DESCRIPTION:Metropolis Performing Arts Centre\, located in the heart of downtown Arlington Heights\, 111 W. Campbell St.\, is proud to announce the cast and creative team for The Christmas Schooner\, November 24\, 2026 – January 3\, 2027. The Christmas Schooner is presented with book by John Reeger and music and lyrics by Julie Shannon. The Metropolis production is directed by Patrick Tierney\, music directed by Kailey Rockwell and choreographed by Jenna Schoppe. \nIt is Christmastime in Manistique\, Michigan\, in the late 1880’s\, and a German-American family is preparing their home for the holidays. They receive a fateful letter from a cousin in Chicago\, who writes with longing about her desire for a Christmas tree to rekindle the beauty and magic of their childhood holiday traditions. As it turns out\, there are more than enough trees to go around in Manistique\, and one man is brave enough to captain the journey through the treacherous Lake Michigan waves. His voyages become a yearly tradition\, despite his wife’s misgivings – until a fateful voyage makes her realize the true importance of his mission. The Christmas Schooner is a heartfelt tale of compassion\, bravery and the commitment to make the world a better place\, based on the real-life stories of the sailors who brought magic to Chicago families all those years ago. \nThe regular performance schedule is Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 p.m.\, Saturdays at 2 and 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. with additional Wednesday performances\, Wednesday\, Dec. 23 at 7:30 p.m. and Wednesday\, Dec. 30 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. The performance on Saturday\, Dec. 5 at 2 p.m. will be closed-captioned\, and the performance on Thursday\, Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m. will be ASL interpreted.

SUMMARY:Metropolis Performing Arts Centre Presents “The Christmas Schooner\,” November 24\, 2026 - January 3\, 2027
DESCRIPTION:Metropolis Performing Arts Centre\, located in the heart of downtown Arlington Heights\, 111 W. Campbell St.\, is proud to announce the cast and creative team for The Christmas Schooner\, November 24\, 2026 – January 3\, 2027. The Christmas Schooner is presented with book by John Reeger and music and lyrics by Julie Shannon. The Metropolis production is directed by Patrick Tierney\, music directed by Kailey Rockwell and choreographed by Jenna Schoppe. \nIt is Christmastime in Manistique\, Michigan\, in the late 1880’s\, and a German-American family is preparing their home for the holidays. They receive a fateful letter from a cousin in Chicago\, who writes with longing about her desire for a Christmas tree to rekindle the beauty and magic of their childhood holiday traditions. As it turns out\, there are more than enough trees to go around in Manistique\, and one man is brave enough to captain the journey through the treacherous Lake Michigan waves. His voyages become a yearly tradition\, despite his wife’s misgivings – until a fateful voyage makes her realize the true importance of his mission. The Christmas Schooner is a heartfelt tale of compassion\, bravery and the commitment to make the world a better place\, based on the real-life stories of the sailors who brought magic to Chicago families all those years ago. \nThe regular performance schedule is Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 p.m.\, Saturdays at 2 and 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. with additional Wednesday performances\, Wednesday\, Dec. 23 at 7:30 p.m. and Wednesday\, Dec. 30 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. The performance on Saturday\, Dec. 5 at 2 p.m. will be closed-captioned\, and the performance on Thursday\, Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m. will be ASL interpreted.
