Author Robert Barry's whimsical Christmas tale, "Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree," will return to Way Off Broadway Children's Theatre on Saturday for the first time since its debut there in 2005. The holiday production, which follows the titular evergreen as it is trimmed again and again benefiting woodland families of various sizes, remains one of only two adaptations of Barry's book — the other being a 1995 television special courtesy of Jim Henson's Muppets. And while Way Off Broadway's adaptation does not involve Kermit the Frog, kids of all ages will most certainly be seeing a lot of green this weekend.

The event will feature a silent auction and funds raised will be donated to local nonprofits.
