Video: Students Get To Experience Live Theatre With A Christmas Message

TUPELO, MISS. (WCBI) – Students from Lee County schools got a break from class as they were treated to a Christmas themed play at Tupelo’s historic Lyric Theatre.

The Tupelo Community Theatre presented “The Gift of the Magi” for students and teachers.  It is an opportunity for the youngsters to experience a live musical, with a Christmas message.

“We just always want to give our students and teachers the opportunity to see live theatre in an historic building like The Lyric.  Many of them get to see shows in their own space but there’s nothing like coming to an old theatre like this and seeing a production,” said Tom Booth, executive director of TCT.

“The Gift of the Magi” has public performances Thursday through Saturday.  For more information on showtimes, go to www.tct.ms  or call 662 844 1935.
