The Phoenix Theatre for Children is getting into the holiday spirit with a
production based on a half-century-old seasonal album by Bing Crosby. An Axe,
an Apple & a Buckskin Jacket, an adaptation by Artistic Director Steven C.
Anderson, will open Friday and run through Dec. 21. It was inspired by a 1957
Crosby album, A Christmas Story, that was itself inspired by a picture book.

The original recording, sung and spoken by Crosby, was written by Arnold
Sundgaard, with the music composed by Alec Wilder.

7:30 PM Fridays, Dec. 12 and 19
1:00 and 2:30 PM, Saturdays and Sundays, Dec. 13-14 and 20-21
