MIDDLEBURY — The U.K. has a long-standing tradition of offering up pantomimes around the holidays — a form of musical comedy theatrical production created to entertain families. Honoring that tradition, Addison Repertory Theatre at the Hannaford Career Center will present “The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon,” Friday and Saturday, Dec. 6 and 7, at 7 p.m., at Hannaford Career Center’s Black Box Theater at 51 Charles Ave.

This is the third year ART has put on a pantomime for the holidays. The performance, a fast-paced farce, will be filled with family-friendly dances and musical acts, jokes, slapstick, and other physical or situational comedy.

This also marks ART’s 30th year; founded in 1994 by Steve Small and Candace Burkle, ART is the state’s sole Theater program at a Career and Technical Education Center.
