Description

December 4th!! Wesserunsett Arts Council and the Friends of Skowhegan Opera House present a heart-warming play during the Holiday Stroll! Not On This Night by Evelyn Jones is a play set during the darkest part of World War II: December 24, 1944, in France’s Ardennes Forest, just before the Battle of the Bulge. A French farm girl, determined to celebrate the season despite the war, encounters two lost soldiers: a German, then an American. Despite their fear and distrust, her courage and good spirits create room for them to put down their arms for a time, and even to laugh together.
