Description The Metropolitan Theatre will put on a special performance of Henri Gheon's Christmas in the Marketplace at an end-of-the-
year party on Dec. 20th

An outstanding Nativity play in three acts. A family of strolling Gypsy players play their own simple but heartfelt version of the Nativity story, each changing character as often as the story demands. A beautiful re-telling of the story, and a challenge for the actor.
