Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, November 21, 2016

Ada fourth and fifth graders present "A Christmas Line,' twice on Thursday, Dec.1, in the school auditorium. Performances are at 1:15 p.m. and again at 7 p.m.

Preview:

It's a casting call for the annual holiday revue and a host of familiar North Pole faces are lined up to audition, headshots and resumes in hand.

Three elves, a not-so-famous reindeer, a stage-worthy snowman, Mrs. Claus herself, and a regular kid named Cameron make the first cut and are put to test by their stage manager and director Santa Claus.
