Theater presents 'Madeline's Christmas'

KEUKA PARK--The Penn Yankee Theatre Company (PYTCo.) presents "Madeline's Christmas" Dec. 15 and 16 at 5:30 p.m. at Keuka College.
Set in a Paris boarding school and staged in the architecture of Keuka College's Norton Chapel and directed by Becky Prine, "Madeline's Christmas" is a musical based on the classic Madeline children's books by Ludwig Bemelmans. "In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines lived 12 little girls in two straight lines," begins the story of Madeline. This holiday season will be unlike any other for Madeline and her friends. While on their morning walk with Miss Clavel, the girls come down with the flu, and as they take to their bed, many wonder if they will be able to go home for Christmas. With the arrival of a mysterious stranger, Madeline and the other girls get a holiday adventure beyond their wildest dreams.
Emma Eichenhofer, a seventh grader at Penn Yan middle school, lends her vocal talents to the role of Madeline. Adult actors include Rachel Dillon, Dusty Baker and Eileen Farrar and Frank Straub.
