LEWISTON — On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 3-5, The Public Theatre will present a return engagement of “A Very Ida Christmas,” a light-hearted holiday show from the team that produced “Ida: Woman Who Runs With the Moose!,” and “Ida’s Havin’ a Yard Sale!.”

Back by popular demand, the show revolves around Ida LeClair, a character portrayed by writer, performer and Maine humorist Susan Poulin.

It’s Christmastime in the tiny town of Mahoosuc Mills, Maine, and LeClair’s holiday spirit is so bright, it could light up a Christmas tree. She’ll offer the inside scoop on the do’s and don’ts of holiday decorating;  discuss her latest Christmas craft projects with her pals, the Women Who Run With the Moose; and share her hilarious “secret” in her not-so-secret Santa plan.

Selected by Portland Magazine as one of the “Ten Most Intriguing People in Maine,” Poulin has been creating and touring her original theatrical productions for 17 years, working in collaboration with artist, musician and actor Gordon Carlisle. Her plays, including “In My Head I’m Thin,” “Spousal Deafness. . . and Other Bones of Contention,” “Pardon My French!,” and “Shutting Up Peggy Lee,” have been performed before sold-out audiences throughout the Northeast.

Performances will be at 7 p.m. on Friday; at 2 and 7 p.m. on Saturday; and at 2 p.m. on Sunday at the theater at 31 Maple St.

Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors, $5 for youth and $15 for groups of 10 or more. Call 782-3200. For more information, visit www.thepublictheatre.org.
