For the first time ever, Art Centre Theatre (ACT) brings Tim Burton’s claymation classic to the stage for a musical event. When the king of Halloweentown, Jack Skellington, loses his way, he stumbles upon a world, the likes of which he has never seen.

Finding himself in Christmastown, a place of happiness and love Jack believes this is his opportunity to take on a brand new challenge. Deciding that he can perform this new found holiday of Christmas, Jack attempts to do so with the help of his monstrous friends in Halloweentown. Through beautiful sets and magnificent special effects, the ACT team promises to bring audiences a riveting and fun experience for all ages, just in time for Halloween.

Nightmare Before Christmas runs until 3:30 p.m. on Sunday Nov. 6, with two shows daily during the weekends. Tickets can be purchased online at www.artcentretheatre.com or at the door.

For a complete schedule and full details visit artcentretheatre.com. The Art Centre Theatre is located at 5220 Village Creek Drive, Plano, 75093.
