Madeline's Christmas

The Surry Arts Council stages a musical production based on Ludwig Bemelmans' classic children's books, featuring book and lyrics by Jennifer Kirkeby and music by Shirley Mier. Audiences follow Madeline after Miss Clavel and the other eleven girls fall ill with the flu right before the holidays. An encounter with a magical rug merchant on Christmas Eve helps everyone recover and fly home to celebrate with their families.
