Raymond Briggs "The Snowman" Featuring Steven Harrison, Tenor from The Metropolitan Opera of NYC, Hotel Petaluma Dec 19, 20 & 21 — Presented by Petaluma Shakespeare Company

This December, Petaluma Shakespeare Company presents a Christmas musical animated story time, The Snowman, by Raymond Briggs, a classic, heartwarming experience that brings more than a snowman to life for the whole family. Guaranteed to spread Christmas cheer and childlike wonder. Performed at the Hotel Petaluma in the main ballroom and featuring Steven Harrison, tenor from The Metropolitan Opera of NYC.

I remember when Raymond Briggs' The Snowman movie took Britain by holiday snow storm in 1985. Fifteen-year-old Welsh choirboy Aled Jones' angelic rendition of "Walking in the Air" topped the UK charts that Christmas. I was in my late teens and still living in England.

When I became a mom to my own three sons here in Northern California, I made it our tradition to watch The Snowman every Christmas Eve. I wanted my boys to feel the magic and simplicity and joy of the message of The Snowman.

And so I'm really excited to attend the first of three shows produced by the wonderful Kristina Wenz and Petaluma Shakespeare Company, this holiday season, right here in the heart of Petaluma in the lovely main ballroom of the Petaluma Hotel. Won't you join me?
