Muncie Civic Theatre presenting 'White Christmas'

MUNCIE, Ind. — Muncie Civic Theatre will present “White Christmas” on the Mainstage beginning this weekend.

Performances will be Dec. 8-10, 14-17 and 20-23. Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows will begin at 7:30 p.m.; and the Sunday matinees will begin at 2:30 p.m. This show is rated PG.

Based on the 1954 film starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney, “White Christmas” features the songs of Irving Berlin and "tells the story of two World War II veterans and song-and-dance men who follow a sister act to Vermont, only to discover that the nearly-bankrupt lodge they were to perform at is owned by their former commanding general," according to a release.

The theater will be honoring local veterans on stage during each performance.

“We've invited veterans to come see the show with their loved ones and we will announce their names, ranks, and service records and salute them from the stage,” the release said.

To RSVP for complimentary veteran tickets, email tickets@munciecivic.org or call the box office at 765-288-PLAY.
