The Ohio Theatre will stage its annual Music & Laughter Christmas Extravaganza 2025, A Hometown Edition, on December 12 and 13 at 7 p.m. both nights. The program will combine Christmas music and skits performed by the theater s own Music & Laughter troupe and visiting community acts, with organizers noting, "You never know what might happen." A number of audience members may also receive special gifts during the performance.
The lineup includes Rachel Arnold, Grayson, Spencer and Landry Buirley, Traci Cooper, Karissa Frische, Grant and Sally Hollenbach, Sabrina Maristela, Mona McMullen, Dennis and Deaunna Morgan, Emily Roblin, Todd and Tonda Sprang, Simon Sprang, Annie Vail and Ana Wilson. Special presentations will come from Loudonville High School s Redbird Rhapsody, the Shining Stars Dance Studio, and members of the cast from A Christmas Carol, An Arts Alive Musical. Each night will offer a slightly different program, increasing the incentive for residents to attend both performances.
Ticket prices are set to remain accessible, with adults at twelve dollars, seniors and students ages five through eighteen at ten dollars, and children age four and under admitted free. Seating is general admission. Tickets may be purchased online at www.theohiotheatre.com, by calling the box office at 419 994 3750, or at the door beginning one hour before each show. The Ohio Theatre is located at 156 N. Water St. in Loudonville.
Beyond entertainment value, the event contributes to the local arts economy by providing paid performance opportunities for area singers, dancers and actors and by generating box office revenue for the nonprofit venue. Affordable pricing and family friendly admission can broaden audience participation, while two nights of shows help spread attendance and reduce crowding. Seasonal events of this kind also tend to increase foot traffic for nearby restaurants and retailers, supporting downtown businesses during a critical holiday period.
Residents looking for a community holiday experience will find live music, local talent and unpredictable fun at the Ohio Theatre s Christmas Extravaganza. Advance sales and arriving early for general admission seating are advised.
