Northern Stage Offers Free Tickets to Children

As Christmas approaches, festive traditions abound, with many turning to nostalgic holiday films. A highlight this year includes a variety of new and cheesy Christmas movies, such as a romantic comedy featuring a sexy snowman and a heartwarming tale based on 'Last Christmas' that intertwines love and loss. Meanwhile, Northern Stage in the North East is making its production of 'A Christmas Carol' accessible to families in need, emphasizing community and compassion amid rising child poverty rates. Their initiatives include free tickets for children receiving free school meals and outreach programs aimed at enhancing community engagement with the arts. In addition, lesser-known films like 'Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas' and cult classics such as 'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians' are gaining renewed attention, appealing to audiences craving both nostalgia and humor during the holiday season.
