Emmett Otter's Jug-band Christmas Jr PILOT

Director/Choreographer: Mandy Seymore-Sensat

Stage Manager: TBA

Music Director: TBA

Emmet  Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas brings the beloved Jim Henson television  special to life, live on stage. Hailed by The New York Times for its  “superb score” by Academy Award–winning songwriter Paul Williams, this  nostalgic tale takes us to Frogtown Hollow, where Ma and Emmet Otter risk what little they have to make each other’s holiday dreams come  true. This very merry musical is a heartwarming celebration perfect for  the entire family.

It’s  three days before Christmas and Mayor Fox has just announced a  Christmas talent contest with a grand prize of fifty dollars! Meanwhile,  times are tough for Ma and Emmet Otter since Pa passed away, and  winning that prize money would allow them to secretly buy each other a  Christmas gift. Emmet considers forming a jug-band with his friends, but  in order to do that he’ll have to put a hole in Ma’s washtub. The  problem is, Ma earns money by doing other folks’ laundry in the washtub.  Ma thinks about hocking Pa’s old toolbox so she can make a costume for  the contest, but Emmet uses those tools to do odd jobs. As Christmas Eve  and the talent contest quickly approach, will Ma and Emmet sacrifice  what little they have, or will their Christmas wishes come true?
