10th Annual Bernstein Family Christmas Spectacular – Last Year!

Don’t miss your final chance to see the Bernsteins and all their holiday shenanigans! The 10th Annual Bernstein Family Christmas Spectacular, will be the final year of the raucous holiday favorite, and it will be a year to remember!

“We’re sad to see the Bernsteins go—even though it took us until last month to get all of the empty vodka bottles cleaned out of Judy Bernstein’s dressing room,” said The Magnetic Theatre’s Artistic Director, Katie Jones.

The Bernsteins have thrilled and cracked up Asheville audiences with their antics for a decade now, and this show will be no exception. This wildly wicked show will feature some blast-from-the-past favorite scenes, as well as all-new antics for Bernstein-lovers!

With an all-star cast of local acting talent, the show features Best of WNC Award Winner Tracey Johnston-Crum, well-known Lazoom personality Glenn Reed, Erik Moellering, Sarah Felmet and Darren Marshall, who has played both Santa Claus and Baby Jesus for all ten years of the Spectacular. Directed by Lucia Del Vecchio, the show is sure to be a rollicking comedy romp, that is most certainly not a family friendly event!

Stage Management: Deanna Braine
Lighting Design: Jason Williams
Sound Design: Mary Zogzas
Set Design: Kehren Barbour, Alex Smith, Julia Cunningham
