The Prairie Arts Council Presents - A Winterhaven Christmas

This year's Prairie Arts Council Children's Christmas musical, "A Winterhaven Christmas," by local playwright Rachel E. Gorenz-Johnson, was written especially for PAC's young actors and was first performed on the PAC stage in 2009.  As the play begins, six young cousins are stranded at their grandmother's house in the country over the holidays; they venture into the attic to explore and find a book hidden in a locked trunk. As one of the children reads the book out loud, they suddenly find themselves face to face with the daughter of an Archduchess, a wicked sorceress, and one of the Sorceress' minions, who step right out of the book into the dusty attic. But when the sorceress disappears, the Archduchess' daughter remains in the attic and one of the children is gone, taken captive by the sorceress. With the help of their grandmother and more colorful storybook characters, the children set about on an adventure to return the Archduchess' daughter to her home and free their lost cousin.
