The Endless Forest Nutcracker is a unique production that re-sets the traditional story by E.T.A. Hoffman in a cabin in the mountains. Clara must travel from her auntie's home to the Endless Forest to find her long-lost sister. In her travels, she will discover the love of family, the magic of the Forest, and the enchantment to be found when the next step on the path becomes the first step in a new world.

Colorful costumes and beautiful contemporary Celtic music are but a small part of the collaborative art experience you will find at The Endless Forest Nutcracker.

Join us at Westminster Christian Academy on Saturday, December 14th. Shows are at 2:30 pm and 6:00 pm. We'll see you in the Forest!

Emery Entertainment is pleased to bring back “Christmas with C.S. Lewis” to the Westport Playhouse stage starring St. Louis’s own Gregory Williams Welsch, November 29-December 15. Tickets are $64 and on sale now. Tickets may be purchased through MetroTix at www.metrotix.com or by calling 314/534-1111.  A special 50% off discount is available by using code CHRISTMAS when purchased online.

In the early years of his young adult life C.S. Lewis believed the story of Christ’s birth was nothing more than feel-good myth. That all changed after a particular encounter with his great friend and fellow author, J R R Tolkien. Although both men loved mythology in general, Tolkien was convinced that the Jesus myth was the one true myth. That was the start of Lewis’ journey from Atheism to Christianity. From that point on Christmas, for Lewis, took on an entirely different meaning. Here we find him at his home near Oxford on Christmas Eve hosting a group of Americans who are Christmassing in England. They are about to experience an unforgettable assortment of Yuletide recollections which stimulates a whole range of emotions – curiosity, laughter, gladness and even some tears. Above all, they will discover how that encounter with Tolkien forever changed his Christmas celebrations.

St. Louis native Gregory Williams Welsch trained in New York and has trod the boards in the guise of some of the greatest roles ever created for the stage. He has been entertaining audiences for years with the authenticity of his performances. Welsch has graced both the small and big screen as well, but it is in the amphitheatre of live performances where he truly shines. He is thrilled to return home to perform in one of his favorite roles at Westport Playhouse.
