James Devita has written a heart warming story for the holidays, based on the Books by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Eight days before Christmas, the Ingalls (Pa, Ma, Mary and Laura) have invited some folks to dinner to celebrate completion of their new home. The guests include Laura's nemesis, the stuck-up Nellie Oleson and her mother Mrs. Oleson; the rambunctious mountain man Edwards; two of the Ingalls girls' cousins, Nick and Peter; and Pa's younger brother George, who ran away at 14 to join the Army as a drummer boy in the Civil War. The happy gathering includes stories and dancing until a freakishly severe early winter thunderstorm brings the celebration to an end.

Will the guest make it home safely? Will the Ingalls family be able to get to town for supplies? And most importantly to the Ingalls girls, will Santa be able to make it across the swollen creek to deliver presents?

Bring the whole family out for this Christmas Tale of fun and adventure. The show runs at 2pm on Saturdays from Nov. 26-Dec. 17. Reservations can be made online at vergetheater.com, or in person at Cactus Records in downtown Bozeman. Verge Theater is located at the Family Friendly North end of Bozeman, at 2304 N. 7th Ave, across from Murdoch's.
