“Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep,” “Blue Skies,” “How Deep is the Ocean” and “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm” are among the songs you’ll be humming to during “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas,” this year’s big fall production by the Webb City High School Theatre Department.

The large cast and crew will perform the show at 7 p.m. Thursday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday in the Ronald R. Barton Performing Arts Center.

Gavin Barnes and Maddox Wood are the male leads (Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye in the 1954 movie version). While their love interests are played by Sadie Dodson and Kelsey Phillips (Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen).

It’s the second time Tiffany Bolin has directed the show, her first time at Webb City.
