Workshop Players Theatre-in-the-Round presents

Christmas Belles

By Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten
Directed by Dave MacKeigan


THE STORY: A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in
this Southern farce about squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa,
a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator. It's Christmas-time in
the small town of Fayro, Texas, and the Futrelle Sisters—Frankie, Twink and
Honey Raye—are not exactly in a festive mood. A cranky Frankie is weeks
overdue with her second set of twins. Twink, recently jilted and bitter
about it, is in jail for inadvertently burning down half the town. And
hot-flash-suffering Honey Raye is desperately trying to keep the Tabernacle
of the Lamb's Christmas Program from spiraling into chaos. But things are
not looking too promising: Miss Geneva, the ousted director of the previous
twenty-seven productions, is ruthless in her attempts to take over the show.
The celebrity guest Santa Claus—- Frankie's long-suffering husband, Dub—is
passing a kidney stone. One of the shepherds refuses to watch over his flock
by night without pulling his little red wagon behind him. And the entire
cast is dropping like flies due to food poisoning from the Band Boosters'
Pancake Supper. And when Frankie lets slip a family secret that has been
carefully guarded for decades, all hope for a successful Christmas program
seems lost, even with an Elvis impersonator at the manger. But in true
Futrelle fashion, the feuding sisters find a way to pull together in order
to present a Christmas program the citizens of Fayro will never forget.
Their hilarious holiday journey through a misadventure-filled Christmas Eve
is guaranteed to bring joy to your world!
