Marinette, Wis. — The stage will come alive in holiday song in December at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Marinette campus, in a returning seasonal favorite, Christmas by the Bay.

Christmas by the Bay features music and lyrics that explore holidays past, present and future — from older traditional songs such as “Little Drummer Boy,” “What Child is This” and “Peace on Earth,” to modern holiday songs such as “Where Are You Christmas,” “Like It’s Christmas” and “A Winter’s Tale.” The audience is welcome to sing along to a celebratory “Joy to the World” and tap their toes to “Cool Yule in D Major.”

Christmas by the Bay is directed for Theatre on the Bay by Brittany Welch and choreographed by Heather Olsen in partnership with the First Street Academy of Dance.

Performances will take place at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Dec. 10-11, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 12.

Tickets are on sale now. For details, go to www.uwgb.edu/marinette-theatre. Socially distanced seating options will be available.

Theatre on the Bay is sponsored by UW-Green Bay’s Division of Continuing Education and Community Engagement, offering adults and youth opportunities to participate in theatrical productions.

Theatre on the Bay has been in Marinette since 1966, with its home stage on the UW-Green Bay Marinette campus.
