During COVID-19, we need to rethink how we celebrate the holidays to keep our families safe and healthy. It's a great time to go back to making your Christmas cards, making reindeer food and Christmas cookies, stringing cranberries and popcorn to decorate the Christmas tree, and reading bedtime stories wrapped up in your favorite blanket.

“Little Theatre of Watertown (LTW) board member Laura Oakes says,

“I was lucky enough to have been read to as a child which really developed my love of reading. When the LTW project committee brainstormed project ideas, producing Bedtime Stories in character seemed like a perfect fit for our organization. I hope that families watch together and see the care put into telling each story.”

Don't forget to leave a tip at the end of the story, as this is a fundraiser. Founded in 1931, The Little Theatre of Watertown is one of the oldest established community theaters in New York State.
