This season, we’re thrilled to launch Shea’s Stage & Story Book Club! Several productions this season are inspired by literature, making it the perfect time to explore how stories come to life both on the page and on the stage. Each month, we’ll highlight books that connect with the themes of the productions on stage at Shea’s, creating new ways for our community to engage with the arts. Whether you're reading solo, with family, or in a group, we invite you to explore these stories, reflect on their messages, and join the conversation as we connect stage and story all season long. Happy Reading!
For December, our book selections invite us into the heart of the holiday season through stories filled with holiday magic, cozy charm, and a sense of togetherness. From the classic enchantment of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas and the magical adventure of The Nutcracker, to the warm, intertwined romances of Let It Snow and the sharp, humorous reflections of Holidays on Ice, each book captures a different facet of the joy and spirit that define this time of year.
These themes shine even brighter alongside tickets to Cirque du Soleil’s ’Twas the Night Before…, a dazzling theatrical reimagining of the classic poem that brings the magic of the holidays to life, performing at Shea’s December 17-28.
