family theatre, which for me is a kind of European concept of theatre that isn’t just for children but is certainly familyfriendly.” Or as Fields summed up: “It’s fun. It’s free.” And yes, “certain toys come alive.” Babes in Toyland opens at Dell’Arte’s Carlo Theatre on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 29 and 30 at 7:30 p.m., then tours up and down the North Coast before returning to the Carlo for the weekend of Dec. 19. All shows until final weekend are free. You can find the full schedule in the “Holiday Heads Up” section of this issue or online at dellarte.com, where there’s also ticket information for the various venues. Another annual family-friendly holiday show unfolds at the Arcata Playhouse with a comedy at the center and different guest musicians for each performance. This year it’s Bigfoot Lodge Holiday Jamboree, directed by Jackie Dandeneau. It features Amy Tetzlaff and Ryan Musil as refugees from Wisconsin who come to the North Coast with their strange ways to take over the Bigfoot Lodge. Bob Wells plays the resident Bigfoot expert. Meredith Anne Baldwin and real Wisconsinite David Ferney also perform, with live music by Tim Randles. Beginning Dec. 5, Bigfoot Lodge Holiday Jamboree runs for two weekends at the Arcata Playhouse, Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee
on Sunday, Dec. 8. Tickets are available at Wildberries Marketplace or by calling (707) 822-1575. You can find more information including a schedule of guest appearances at arcataplayhouse.org. The Music Man by Meredith Wilson (script and songs) is the Ferndale Repertory Theatre’s holiday show, though probably not because Wilson also wrote “It’s Beginning to Look A lot Like Christmas.” It’s a big, bright musical from Broadway’s Golden Age, with a love story, children, a happy ending and songs you sing on your way home. Directed by Dianne Zuleger, the cast of 30 is led by Jaison Chand as the con man Professor Harold Hill and Caitlin McMurtry as his love interest, Marian the Librarian, and includes Gino Bloomberg, Greta Stockwell, Anders Carlson, Laura Rose and Tyler Egerer. Linda Maxwell is choreographer, Elisabeth Harrington and Nanette Voss are vocal directors, Karen Kenfeld Fuller is costume coordinator, and Bruce Keller scenic artist, with sound by Ian Schatz and lighting by Telfer Reynolds. The Music Man opens at Ferndale Rep on Friday Nov. 29, and plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. through Dec. 22, with Thursday night performances on Dec. 12 (benefit for cast and crew) and Dec. 19. While “(Ya Got) Trouble” (“right here in River City”) and “Seventy-six Trombones” are probably the songs most associated with the show, the tuneful score also includes “Till There Was You,” most famously recorded by the Beatles in the early 1960s. They didn’t know it came from The Music Man, but Paul McCartney (who sang it solo) found out— and eventually bought the rights to all of Meredith Wilson’s songs. So it seems that some royalties will go from Ferndale right on over to Sir Paul. Merry Christmas to him, and to all, and good night. l
