Christmas is coming to Burnaby Village Museum.
Forte Theatre Society is hosting its second production for the village's Heritage Christmas celebrations - which start this weekend.
Stealing Christmas is described as a "heartwarming story where the Christmas spirit is revealed to a pair of thieves."
Director Nancy von Euw leads the production, which delves into the lives of five characters in Vancouver during the First World War.
And, von Euw says in a press release, life hasn't changed much.
"We still battle homelessness, and we are still sending our troops overseas to defend our rights and freedom," she says.
The cast includes Phillip Dundas Ure, returning for his third play at Burnaby Village as Roscoe Roebucks.
James Johnson, who appears as Constable Duncan, is a Victoria-raised actor and writer who's in his first Forte Theatre production.
Karissa Ketter, who plays Roxie Roebucks, is returning for her fifth Heritage Christmas production.
They're joined by Kimberley Kidd (Mae), a Douglas College theatre grad, and Kieylla Thornton-Trump (Polly), who's making her theatrical debut at Burnaby Village.
Stealing Christmas is on at Brookfield Hall on Saturdays and Sundays from Nov. 22 to Dec. 14. It plays at 2:30, 4 and 6:30 p.m.
