Magical Theatre Company is the first theatre in the United States to produce their own production of Paddington Saves Christmas. What a way to ring in the holiday season! Based on the book by Michael Bond, the journey to secure the rights to Paddington Saves Christmas took well over a year. But it’s been worth it according to Director, Holly Barkdoll. “It’s an honor to be the first theatre in the country to be entrusted with these beautiful puppets, and the opportunity to share this hilarious story of everyone’s favorite bear, Paddington!” says Barkdoll. “There’s so much heart in that little bear and the whole team of designers and actors are committed to bringing that heart.”

It’s holiday time and Paddington is making his favorite marmalade jam – but he runs out of sugar and heads next door to borrow some from Mr. Curry. The usually grumpy Mr. Curry is even more short-tempered than ever as he prepares for a visit from his great aunt, a stickler for tidiness. Paddington, feeling sorry for Mr. Curry, volunteers to help him with his chores. Unfortunately, his good intentions lead to all sorts of messy, sticky, and hilarious predicaments! Will Paddington be able to fix everything before Great Aunt Matilda arrives?
