OTTUMWA —
The Ottumwa Community Children’s Playhouse to present “The Elves and The Shoemaker” Dec. 7-9 at the Bridge View Center.
This is the classic story of a shoemaker suffering through the hardships of war and loss who is given new hope when a young refugee enters his life. They struggle to make shoes, but the young refugee is constantly making mistakes. A group of elves is watching over the young boy, however, and use their magic to make shoes. The old shoemaker and the young boy grow closer as time goes by, as each realizes that even though things are different than they used to be, they can still find happiness.
“The Elves and the Shoemaker” has a cast of 50 children between the ages of 5-15. The show times are 7 p.m. Dec. 7-8 and 2 p.m. Dec. 9. Admission prices are $8 for adults and $5 for children.
