A beloved holiday tradition returns for its 20th year at a new location! The fairytale-like story follows Lucia, a young girl who feels the cheer of her village dimming as winter stretches on. Longing to rekindle warmth and belonging, she journeys into the quiet forests of the Winter Star. In her toughest moment, a gentle Bear appears and leads Lucia across the globe to discover how communities everywhere lift one another through winter with dance, song, gathering, and tradition.
The show highlights holidays including Kwanzaa, Diwali, Christmas, Chanukah, Sankta Lucia, Yule, and Winter Solstice — celebrating the many cultural ways people spark joy and togetherness through the colder months. Blending Arm-of-the-Sea Theater’s spectacular puppetry with The Vanaver Caravan’s vibrant world dance repertoire, Into the Light reminds us that community is the warmth that carries us through winter.
