Possum Point Players Add Additional Matinee Performance of WHITE CHRISTMAS

Starting a year of favorite plays from 50 years of community theatre, Possum Point Players will open the holidays with a reprised production of "Irving Berlin's White Christmas." Overwhelming ticket sales have led to an added Saturday, December 10th matinee at 2PM. Two Sunday matinees (12/4), and (12/11 are already sold out. And there are less than 20 tickets left for both Friday and Saturday evening performances. Patrons are strongly encouraged to purchase tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment and possibly missing the show. Friday and Saturday shows are at 7:30 pm and Sundays and the Dec. 10 matinees are at 2 pm.

Tickets cost $27 for adults and $25 for seniors and students and maybe purchased on line, www.possumpointplayers.org, or by calling the office ticketline, 302-856-4560. Those with questions regarding performance schedules are encouraged to contact the office. First performed in Possum Hall in 2012, "Irving Berlin's White Christmas" mirrors the movie that weaves together tales of friendship and family, a New England country inn setting and a sentimental love story.
