AS 12 NEWS MALLORY ANDERSON SHOWS US, PATTI GERVING HAS BEEN BUSY CROCHETING AFGHANS TO RAISE MONEY FOR THOSE NEW OFFICERS. A UNIQUE COMBINATION IS TAKING OVER THE MILWAUKEE POLICE ACADEMY.

NOW SHES TURNING HER TRAGEDY INTO ACTION, CROCHETING THESE 21 AFGHANS WITH THE INTENTION OF IMPROVING A NEW OFFICERS LIFE.

BEHIND THE SCENES BEFORE THE SHOW BEGINS. ACTUALLY, I HAVE TO GO. I HAVE TO WARM UP FOR MY SHOW, OBVIOUSLY. SO LET ME JUST START ME ME ME ME ME. THE MELODIOUS TONES AND GREEN COSTUME CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING. THE GRINCH IS BACK IN BOSTON. IVE HAD THE CLAM CHOWDER AND IVE HAD THE BAKED BEANS, AND IVE HAD THE BOSTON CREAM PIES AND OF COURSE, GARBAGE AND ONIONS. DOCTOR SEUSS, HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS THE MUSICAL IS HERE FOR 20 SHOWS LEADING UP TO THE HOLIDAY. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING IN BOSTON? MY FAVORITE PART BEING IN BOSTON. I MEAN, THE WEATHER. OBVIOUSLY ITS COLD, ITS RAINY. I JUST NEED A LITTLE MORE SLEET AND HAIL. IM A HAPPY CAMPER. ARE YOU WARM ENOUGH IN THAT? OH YEAH. I KEEP VERY WARM HERE, YOU KNOW, GRINCH FOR, GRINCH FOR KEEPS YOU VERY WARM. ITS LAYERS ON, LAYERS ON LAYERS. ITS OPENING NIGHT HERE AT THE BOX CENTER WING THEATER. AND IN THE CAST THIS YEAR IS ACTRESS SARAH NIMMO. SHES PLAYING THE ROLE OF MAMA, WHO SARAH IS ORIGINALLY FROM NORTHBOROUGH. IVE BEEN DOING THIS SHOW FOR THREE YEARS AND IT FEELS AMAZING TO BE IN A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WHO LIFTED ME UP THROUGHOUT MY UPBRINGING CAN COME AND SUPPORT AND SEE WHAT IVE BEEN UP TO. THE BOX CENTER WING THEATER IS MAKING SARAH FEEL RIGHT AT HOME, AND SHES HOPING LESSONS FROM THE SHOW HIT HOME AND GO HOME WITH THE AUDIENCE. I THINK WHATS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS CAST AND THIS ITERATION OF THE STORY IS THAT IT REALLY FOCUSES ON THE HEART AND THE LOVE AND THE ACCEPTANCE AND THE STORY OF REDEMPTION THAT IS SO IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER DURING THE HOLIDAYS. TOO MANY PEOPLE TELL ME THAT MY HEART IS STILL SMALL. ITS NOT. IT GREW. EVERYONE FORGETS THAT PART OF THE BOOK. I UNDERSTAND ITS REAL LONG AND ARDUOUS. NO ONE WANTS TO FINISH IT, BUT MY HEART GREW. IM NICE. I WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN GROW AS AS THE BEINGS WE ARE. WE ARE ONE OF A KIND.
