Mesilla Valley Musical Arts Presents the Return of the Amazing Magical Musical Adventure - Saturday, December 11, 2010

(LAS CRUCES) - Mesilla Valley Musical Arts (MVMA) welcomes the opportunity to celebrate family and the joys of the holiday season with the return of Amazing Magical Musical Adventure to the Black Box Theatre this December. Based on the beautiful holiday classic, Why The Bells Rang, by Raymond Macdonald Alden, this unique performance is a tale that reinforces the concept that the size of the gift is far less important than the spirit in which it is given. December’s Amazing Magical Musical Adventure will warm cockles at the Black Box Theatre on December 11, 2010.

Told through music, narration and simple acting, Why The Bells Rang is a heartwarming tale about two young boys whose Christmas Eve turns out rather differently than planned, when a trip to a wonderful church in a great city becomes a test of sacrifice and faith resulting in a unique blessing brought about by unselfish generosity. Presented in partnership with the Black Box Theatre, Amazing Magical Musical Adventures presents family-friendly arts programming well suited for children ages 3 to 10, but appropriate for the entire family.
