A chill is in the air CLARKSVILLE — Derby Dinner Playhouse is performing “Jack Frost Saves Christmas” through Dec. 21 as part of its Children’s Musical Theatre Series.

Father Winter can no longer continue his important weather work and when he retires he leaves a magical young boy, Jack, to carry on his winter responsibilities. At the North Pole, a spirited group of winter animals discover Jack and soon realize he is not like other children and that he has some very special icy abilities. The animals decide to bring him to Christmastown where Jack experiences the town in holiday hysterics over an ever-growing heat wave caused by Father Winter’s absence. As Christmas Eve arrives, Jack discovers and accepts his talents and in doing so saves Christmas.

“Jack Frost Saves Christmas” is under the direction of Tina Jo Wallace. The cast includes Lem Jackson, Bill Hanna, Carly Stotts, Sandra Rivera, David Myers and J.R. Stuart. The book and lyrics for this production were written by Matt and Tina Jo Wallace and the music was composed by Scott Bradley. Musical numbers featured are “Searching for
