It is STILL Christmas in Cass County

There are still opportunities to enjoy the Christmas Season and make spirits bright. The Lofte Theatre is graciously put their Christmas program online. Check it out below.Lofte Family and Friends

Our Christmas presentation “Making Spirits Bright” is now online! Please go to our home page at lofte.org and click the button that says “View Making Spirits Bright Online” to watch this heartwarming production. Note that the show will be available to watch from today December 22nd through January 22nd. Watching is 100% free, and you may watch as many times as you like. We appreciate your understanding as we've been working hard to bring you this show, one way or another, and hope that you enjoy it!

About the show: We all feel the modern strains of the holiday season, shopping, decorating, and food preparations. Follow one couple through a Christmas season that helps them bring back the spirit of what the holiday is about. Through magic, love, and humor, and a mysterious "Neighbor", Nick and Helen rediscover the joys of the holiday. "Making Spirits Bright," is authored by one of our very own born-in-a-barn players, Kathryn Cover!

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
