On Thursday, November 30th, they are hosting the annual Tree Lighting ceremony followed by the opening of our production of “Elf: The Musical” with live performances on the Wayne Stage. They welcome you to join at the Wayne Theatre before 6:30PM to kick off the holiday season with a celebration of treats, songs from the Wayne Theatre Dickens Carolers, and surprises from the cast and crew of our production of “Elf: The Musical”. Then, at 6:30PM, they light the big tree that’s atop our Wayne Theatre building for the first time this season. More information about live performances of “Elf: The Musical” is available online at WayneTheatre.org.
