Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas

In iTheatrics's live stage version of Jim Henson's 1977 HBO gem, a washtub-bass-playing otter and his mother embark on an O. Henry–inspired quest to buy each other the perfect holiday gifts. Adapted from an illustrated children's tale by Russell and Lillian Hoban, Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas features puppets by the Jim Henson Company, a score by master pop songsmith Paul Williams ("Rainbow Connection") and a book by Timothy Allen McDonald and director-choreographer Christopher Gattelli.
