Maybe the Grinch stole Christmas, but Sue Schuler is helping to bring the holiday spirit back on stage in The Villages.
Schuler has stepped in to direct and produce “Home” at Christmas time, Dec. 2 and 3 in the Savannah Center.
Originally, another Christmas musical production, “Believe” was scheduled for Savannah Center but had to be postponed until next year.
Now, Schuler and a cast of about 50 Villagers are ready to fill the holiday void.
“We want to explore what it means to be home for Christmas,” Schuler said. “We want to bring back all the good memories that go along with being home for the holidays.”
She added that includes such memories as eating Christmas dinner with the family; gathering with friends for parties and going to holiday movies.
“We know that the people in The Villages grew up in homes somewhere else,” Schuler said. “We want them to feel again what it was like to be back home for the holidays.”
The show will includes Christmas songs, dances and sketches. The cast includes: Schuler, John Rogerson, Bill Davis, Andy Malinosky, Mollie McCarthy and Jennifer Slayton.
Also, three dance clubs will perform: Dance Fusion, Dance Synergy and Aloha ‘O Ka Hula.
