The Towle Theater opened its doors in 2003 with the original holiday show A Fabulous 50’s Christmas created by director Jeff Casey. This holiday season marks their 17th incarnation of the show and their last. The show is based on the Andy Williams and Perry Como Christmas specials of the 1950’s complete with original vocal arrangements and television commercials from the era. The show has become a holiday tradition for many guests who return year after year to enjoy this nostalgic Christmas production. The show is under the direction of Jeff Casey and musical direction by Elizabeth Tuazon. A Fabulous 50’s Christmas is sponsored by First Merchants Bank.
