LEWISTON — This time, Ida LeClair is all about jingle bells and mistletoe.

The delightfully humorous lady from mythical Mahoosuc Mills, Maine, is coming to the stage of The Public Theatre on Dec. 4-6, and she’s going to share all kinds of holiday stories, tips and gossip.

“A Very Ida Christmas” is Susan Poulin’s new one-woman production. As Ida, whom audiences first met in the highly successful “Ida: Woman Who Runs With the Moose,” Poulin has packaged another sure-fire audience pleaser.

Ida just loves Christmas and she has the inside scoop on everything. It’s a snowy afternoon at Ida’s house and she’s inviting us over. She just might let us in on her hilarious secret in a Not-So-Secret Santa plan. Ida also has some do’s and don’ts of holiday decorating, some news about her Christmas crafts projects with her pals — and she’s likely to tell us what husband, Charlie, and the boys are up to.

“Susan Poulin is becoming a big voice in Maine,” said Janet Mitchko, associate director of The Public Theatre, noting she has been creating and touring her original theatrical productions since 1992.

Working in collaboration with artist, musician and actor Gordon Carlisle, Poulin’s critically acclaimed plays have broken box office records throughout the Northeast. Her works include “In My Head I’m Thin,” “Spousal Deafness … and Other Bones of Contention,” “Pardon My French!” “Ida: Woman Who Runs With The Moose,” “Ida’s Havin’ a Yard Sale!” and “Shutting Up Peggy Lee!” She has performed most of them at The Public Theatre.

Poulin also writes a regular blog called “Just Ask Ida” for Down East Magazine.

“You just know she’s going to make your holiday,” Mitchko said of Poulin. “It’s like you are visiting a favorite aunt.”

For almost two decades, the “Poolyles” (Poulin and Carlisle) have created original theatrical productions, each infused with their unique brand of humor, songs and inventive props.

Poulin has been named one of the “Ten Most Intriguing People in Maine” by Portland Magazine. Her work has been supported by the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, the Maine Arts Commission and the Maine Humanities Council.

She was a featured performer in “The Mirth of Venus” and “The Mirth Canal” at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, The Maine Festival, the Minneapolis Fringe Theater Festival and Portland’s Cassandra Project. Poulin also performs with Harbor Light Stage in its Bold Face play reading series.

Carlisle is a graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute and is a visual artist, songwriter and actor in the Portsmouth, N.H., area. He was awarded a New Hampshire State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship for his achievement as a muralist. His latest public art commission is a 1,493-foot square exterior mural in downtown Somersworth, N.H., which celebrates the city’s “Proud Past, Bright Future.”

“A Very Ida Christmas” will be performed at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Dec. 4 and 5; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6. For tickets, call the box office at 782-3200.The Public Theatre is  at Lisbon and Maple streets.
