The Abbey Players will be spreading holiday cheer by singing out loud for all to hear when the theater troupe from St. Benedict the Abbot presents “Elf, Jr.” Jan. 6-8 at the Pope Benedict Center, McMurray.

This delightful, fun-filled musical for all ages will feature students from Peters Township, Canon-Mac, Upper St. Clair, Mt. Lebanon and Lincoln Park Performing Arts schools, and will star troupe high school seniors Joe Belfiore as Buddy the Elf, Emily Koerbel as Jovie, Laura Shope as Emily and Sarah Gotkiewicz as the tap dancing store manager.

Performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. matinee showings on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets will be available at the door.
