Metro Theater greets the Winter Holidays with “Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates.” It’s a traditional Dutch story adapted for the stage by playwright Laura Eason and tells the tale of Hans Brinker, a hard-working young man supporting his family through tough times in the 19th century. Brimming with integrity, ingenuity, and most of all fun, “Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates” offers a nice winter narrative for the child in everyone. The show runs through December 30, 2017 at the Grandel Theatre.
