Bucks Playhouse celebrates Christmas in July with pre-holiday offers

NEW HOPE, PA — The Bucks County Playhouse kicks off its 2024 Christmas celebration with “Christmas in July,” running now through July 31.

As part of its anticipation of the holidays, Bucks County Playhouse is expanding its holiday programming, offering special promotions and packages that are perfect as gifts for family and friends.

The centerpiece of the Playhouse's 2024 holiday season is a brand new production of “Anastasia: The Musical.” Featuring beloved songs from the original animated film and more, “Anastasia” is a sweeping musical adventure that takes audiences from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of 1920s Paris. A brave young woman named Anya sets out to uncover the secret of her past, but is pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her.

To celebrate Christmas in July, the Playhouse is offering special discounted tickets to “Anastasia” for a limited time. Now through July 31, visitors can save 15 percent on a pack of four tickets (code: Family4) and 20 percent on a pack of six tickets (code: Family6). Additional discounts are available for groups of 10 or more.

In addition, two special “Anastasia Teas” will be packaged with tickets to the show. The tea packages are available for performances on Saturday, December 7 and Saturday, January 4. The teas will be held in the historic Playhouse Barn and include a tea time at 11:30 a.m. and a ticket to the show at 1:30 p.m. The packages are $109 each and are available on the Playhouse website.

This fall, the Bucks County Playhouse will also launch a Community Arts Series, in which the Playhouse will bring arts programs to performance venues throughout the region. As part of the Christmas programming, the series will include “Sean Heely's Celtic Christmas” on December 18 at 8 p.m. at Villa Victoria Academy in Ewing, NJ. Seán Heely and a cast of celebrated Celtic musicians and dancers will perform a magical Christmas tribute to Scotland and Ireland. Featuring fiddle and bagpipes, the performance is a culmination of Christmas and Winter Solstice celebrations through music and dance from Scottish and Irish traditions. Tickets are on sale now.
