POSSUM POINT PLAYERS
Possum Point Players to Conduct Auditions this Sunday and Monday for Holiday Comedy Christmas Belles.
Georgetown DE – This Sunday and Monday, at 7pm at Possum Hall, 441 Old Laurel Road, the Possum Point Players will conduct auditions for Christmas Belles.
The cast calls for 7 females and 4 males, ages 18 and up. The show will take place two weekends, December 6 through 15.
Anyone wishing to tryout who cannot make the scheduled audition dates is encouraged to call director Charlie Meyer at
(302) 644-6691. Those interested in being part of the production crew should call Charlie as well.
In the play, 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—played by 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!
Christmas Belles is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
