The Henrico Theatre Company will present Irving Berlin’s musical “Holiday Inn” by Chad Hodge and Gordon Greenberg Nov. 17-18 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 19 at 3 p.m. at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen. Jim leaves the bright lights of show business behind to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut where he quickly discovers life isn’t the same with a bit of song and dance. Jim’s luck takes a spectacular turn when he meets Linda, a spirited schoolteacher with talent to spare. Together they turn the farmhouse into a fabulous inn with dazzling performances to celebrate each holiday, from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July. But when Jim’s best friend, Ted, tries to lure Linda away to be his new dance partner in Hollywood, will Jim be able to salvage his latest chance at love? Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors 55+ and students. For details, call 261-ARTS or visit artsglenallen.com.
