With the holiday season soon to be upon us, Long Island’s theaters are planning great performances of both classic holiday tales and original holiday themed shows. Here’s some of what’s to come:

The Gateway Playhouse

Bellport’s Gateway Playhouse serves up three holiday shows this season, starting with its Children’s Theater production of Mooseltoe, followed by the playhouse’s holiday ice spectacular and closing with Rio Cirque Le Masque entertaining audiences to ring in the New Year. Here’s the low down:

Mooseltoe

From Saturday, November 21st through Saturday, November 28th, the Gateway presents its annual stage production of Mooseltoe, the story of a moose and his dream of flying with Santa and his reindeer. The “whimsical” show features the voices of Al Roker, John Cullum, and Carole Shelley and is great for children of any age. See Gateway’s website for show times, ticket information, a video preview and more.

A Holiday Spectacular

The Gateway presents its annual holiday ice show from December 18th through the 22nd. Times and prices vary. See the website for details.
