Tuscarawas will host "The Holiday Ice Spectacular" on

The Performing Arts Center at Kent State University at Tuscarawas in New Philadelphia will host "The Holiday Ice Spectacular" on Dec. 16 at 7:30 p.m. Families and guests of all ages will be treated to an original theatrical ice production that combines the beauty, excitement and athleticism of figure skating with a warm and humorous holiday storyline narrated by Santa's elves.
The Performing Arts Center stage will be transformed into a miniature ice skating rink, making use of a state-of-the-art synthetic ice product that will create the perfect setting for the show's world-class cast. By using this synthetic ice surface, the show will leave a minimal carbon footprint — making the show earth friendly too!
The show is created, produced and directed by well-known international ice and theatre producer Jeb K. Rand, president and executive producer of Rand Enterprises & Productions. Rand’s entertainment career spans more than 30 years — first as a nationally ranked professional figure skater and now as the creative force behind international productions worldwide.
“I am thrilled to be producing the show for a sixth season and taking the show out on a multicity tour in 2014! It is truly a very fun and unique holiday family experience,” Rand says. “Think of the show as a 'snow globe come to life,' where there is a little something special for audience members of all ages — and the fact that it’s performed on ice gives the show a special thrilling edge!”
Tickets for "The Holiday Ice Spectacular" range in price from $25 to $45 and can be purchased at the Performing Arts Center Box Office, online at www.tusc.kent.edu or by calling 330-308-6400. The box office is open Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Free parking is available for all shows.
