If you’re looking for family friendly holiday activities this November then you should check out the Henry County Performing Arts Center where local Henry County thespians will be performing their annual holiday play.

This year the Henry County Players will be performing A Christmas Story. Based on the book by Jean Shepherd, this play follows the story of 9 year-old Ralphie Parker who wants to see a genuine Red Ryder BB Gun under his Christmas Tree more than anything. The play chronicles Ralphie’s attempts to get what he wants in a humorous and playful tale that will prove enjoyable for the whole family.

The production will run from November 19-22 and then will break for Thanksgiving  before resuming performances November 28 -29. Tickets can be purchased online or at various local retailers throughout Henry County. (more…)

Tonight is the opening night for “Papa’s Angels, A Christmas Story.” Performed by our local Henry Players, this heartwarming tale is a story about five spunky children who create their own Christmas Miracle to save their brokenhearted father. It’s based on the novel by Collin Wilcox Patton and Gary Carden, so you may already be familiar with the story. This is the kind of performance that is perfect for the entire family, but you only have this weekend to catch it. The Henry Players will do one performance a day through Sunday, which gives you only four chances to catch this sweet Christmas story. This play is an exceptional way to get you into the holiday spirit in time for Thanksgiving. Tickets can no longer be purchased online, but you can get them around Henry County at local vendors. There doesn’t seem to be a better weekend activity for the family than “Papa’s Angels, A Christmas Story.” Henry County is pretty lucky to have their own community theater group – it’s just one more thing that sets our Southern county apart from the others.
