Academy of Dance Arts Littlest Angel at Howard L. Schrott Center for the Arts

A small box of earthly keepsakes becomes a powerful lesson about the value of a sincere gift. That's the heart of Academy of Dance Arts Littlest Angel, coming to the Howard L. Schrott Center for the Arts in Indianapolis on December 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The story follows a young angel who longs for her earthly keepsakes. Everything she treasures fits inside a small wooden box. And when the moment comes to offer something at the birth of Christ, that humble box is what she chooses to give.

Here is why that stays with you. The story sets her modest, deeply personal gift beside grander offerings, then asks a quiet question: what does a sincere gift look like? Parents, grandparents and anyone who has ever held onto one small keepsake will feel that question land. The presenter ties her chosen gift to the Star of Bethlehem, so the Christian Christmas theme is front and center. For families who want a holiday outing rooted in faith, this is a story built for that purpose.

Best of all, you experience it through dance. Academy of Dance Arts brings the tale to the stage as movement, which means emotion lives in gesture and presence, not just in words. It is a Sunday afternoon in Indianapolis, set aside for a tender story and the people you bring along. Make it part of your December plans, and reserve your seats for Littlest Angel at the Schrott Center today.
