This holiday season, Menomonie Theater Guild invites audiences to experience the timeless charm and heartwarming magic of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas: The Musical. Opening on December 5th and running through December 14th at the Mabel Tainter Theater, this beloved stage adaptation brings the silver screen classic to dazzling life.
Based on the beloved 1954 film, White Christmas tells the story of two World War II veterans who become a successful song-and-dance team. When they discover that their former commanding officer’s Vermont inn is struggling, they team up with a talented sister act to put on a show that just might save the business. Packed with spectacular dance numbers, stunning costumes, and some of the most memorable songs ever written — including “Blue Skies,” “Sisters,” and the iconic “White Christmas” — this musical is a joyous celebration of love, friendship, and the spirit of the season.
Directed by RuthAnn Ledgerwood and Dominique Stewart, with choreography by Alex Hall, White Christmas promises a festive theatrical experience perfect for the whole family.

A Brew and a Book with Lyla Davis - Romance Edition

Lyla’s Latest Book:

He’s all badge and bah humbug.
She’s glitter, giggles, and holiday chaos.
When Holly Ridge’s newest police chief, Aaron Reynolds, pulls over the town’s most festive music teacher, he’s expecting a reckless driver—not a feisty Christmas fanatic in a cherry-red vintage truck.
Ava Caldwell lives for twinkle lights and Christmas carols. She’s lived in Holly Ridge her entire life and is annoyed by the grumpy cop the universe seems to keep throwing into her path, despite her best efforts to avoid him.
With a little help from Ava’s scheming grandma Millie—and a suspiciously well-informed Santa—this town’s about to get a dash of holiday magic, a sprinkle of unexpected romance, and maybe even a grumpy cop who opens his heart to love and believe in Christmas again.
These two opposites don’t just attract, they crash like reindeer in a snowstorm.
Warning: Contains flannel, frosting, and one very sneaky and persistant matchmaking grandma.
