A Special ESU Alumni Invitation

CHANGE the Christmas Musical

A beloved holiday tradition returns to the Sherman Theater for two special performances this December!

What began as a small Christmas production in 2008 has grown into a holiday favorite, attracting audiences who return year after year.

Created by ESU Alumni Board members Robin Schneider '04 and Katie Ord '07, M'08, along with friends, this original Christmas comedy musical brings music, laughter and the spirit of the season to the Poconos.

A Holiday Story for All Ages

This heartwarming, family-friendly musical follows the magical journey of a quarter that comes to life, bringing joy, laughter and unexpected change to the magical town of Stroudsville.

Filled with music, comedy and a meaningful Christmas message, CHANGE offers something for the entire family.

This year's production once again features ESU junior and musical theater major Bella Smith, starring as Change, along with ESU Foundation Associate Director of Development Melissa Ritchie ’25, returning to the stage in her beloved role as Ms. Nuzbee!
