SUMMARY

Veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II.

With a dazzling score featuring well-known standards including “Blue Skies,” “I Love A Piano,” “How Deep Is the Ocean” and the perennial title song, White Christmas is an uplifting musical to make your holiday season merry and bright.

HISTORY

Paramount Pictures released the movie musical White Christmas in 1954. Directed by Michael Curtiz, the film starred Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen, and featured 17 songs by Irving Berlin. The top moneymaker of 1954, White Christmas set a new record as Hollywood’s all-time highest-grossing musical.

The stage adaptation of White Christmas opened on Broadway at the Marquis Theatre on November 4, 2008, after several successful engagements throughout the United States. Directed by Walter Bobbie and starring Stephen Bogardus, Jeffry Denman, Kerry O’Malley and Meredith Patterson, the show was an audience favorite; it returned to Broadway the following year, starring James Clow, Tony Yazbeck, Melissa Errico and Mara Davi.

Our school programs integrate the Bible into every discipline, academic and extra-curricular. This means students learn to live life with Jesus, being challenged to engage every aspect from a Biblical foundation.

The classical Christian method inspires learning by utilizing the trivium’s three phases of learning (Grammar, Logic & Rhetoric) where students are uniquely trained at their stage of development. Classical education seeks to engage the students minds and train them to think for themselves. Our teachers inspire students to investigate, contemplate, debate and pursue knowledge, encouraging our students to have a lifelong love of learning.
