Being an elf isn’t easy. Ginger is the only elf in North Pole history to have been fired from every job she’s tried. When Santa’s mailroom needs a last-minute replacement on December 23rd, Ginger’s sibling, the fastidious Nog, pulls some strings to get her the new position. All she has to do is open letters and run the switchboard – what could possibly go wrong?
All I Want for Christmas is a comedy full of slapstick humour and hilarious heart, sure to set your holiday season in motion.

Memorial Hall has a full and varied history. Built to commemorate the 35 students and alumni who lost their lives in World War I, Memorial Hall was the original home for the chemistry and chemical engineering departments. It also hosted many university convocations and Founders Day events, as well as the annual Christmas Party featuring a puppet show and President Dr. Colin B. Mackay reading ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. Many also remember it as a venue for UNB’s famed Red ‘n’ Black Revue! Today, Memorial Hall is the hub for the Fine Arts at UNB and home to the vibrant UNB Art Centre, the Centre for Musical Arts and Theatre UNB. It regularly plays host to live theatre, concerts, art exhibitions and more.

Nunsense is a hilarious spoof that follows the misadventures of The Little Sisters of Hoboken, New Jersey.
After the recent poisoning of most of the convent, the remaining sisters must band together (mostly) to stage a fundraiser to bury their deceased (and get them out of the freezer where they are currently being stored).
Laced with catchy, original songs, zany, irreverent, physical comedy and dancing from ballet to tap, Nunsense promises to keep audiences young and old rolling with laughter.
*Masking is not required at this performance but audience members are encouraged to wear one if they would feel more safe. As always if you are sick please stay home and email us prior to the performance for a complete refund
