BATAVIA, Ohio — UC Clermont College’s Calico Children’s Theatre will bring Jack Frost’s holiday mischief to the stage next month, with performances of “The Day Before Christmas” scheduled for Dec. 11 at the college’s Krueger Auditorium.
The touring production, staged by TCT on Tour, follows a cold-hearted Jack Frost who sets out to freeze all of Santa’s Christmas festivities, according to UC Clermont. Audience members are invited to help save the holiday from calamity. The show is recommended for children in kindergarten through fifth grade and runs 45 to 60 minutes, the college said.
Three performances are set for Dec. 11: a 10:30 a.m. Yellow Bus series showing, a 12:30 p.m. Yellow Bus series showing, and a 6:30 p.m. performance open to the general public. Yellow Bus Series tickets, aimed at school groups, cost $4 per person, while tickets to the evening public performance cost $6 per person, according to the college.
Calico Children’s Theatre has operated at UC Clermont since 1987, when it was created to introduce children and families to the visual and performing arts through weekend and evening shows for children under 12, the college said. The program, part of UC Clermont’s Community Arts initiative alongside the UC Clermont Art Gallery, stages multiple productions each season at Krueger Auditorium in the Peters-Jones Building on the college’s Batavia campus.
UC Clermont, a regional campus of the University of Cincinnati, sits on roughly 91 acres in Batavia Township and has offered associate and bachelor’s degree programs since opening in 1972.
