Something fun and festive for the whole family is coming to the Knight Stage at the Civic Theater, in downtown Akron. 

A local community theater company composed of older adults, known as “The Boom Theater”, is performing the holiday classic musical, Irving Berllin’s  “White Christmas” over three weekends, December 5 – 21, 2025. 

Veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II. With romance in mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be owned by Bob and Phil’s former army commander.  

With a dazzling score featuring well-known standards including “Blue Skies,” “I Love A Piano,” “How Deep Is the Ocean” and the perennial title song, White Christmas is an uplifting, wholesome musical that will delight audiences of all ages.

This year’s production staff is Andy Knode, director; Kristen Johnson, musical director; Kate Webb, choreographer; Amy Hume, costume designer; and Lisa Brosovich, lighting designer.  

“Boom continues to support the work on creative aging and to showcase talents from this demographic while providing amazing entertainment.” Said Val Renner, producer and creator of BOOM Theater.
