Christmas Show Cast Announced

Published on: November 9, 2009

The Winder-Barrow Community Theatre is proud to announce the cast of their upcoming Christmas show. The Little Town of Christmas by Pat Cook will be directed by Billie Nye-Muller, the Artistic Director of WBCT. The cast includes “children” from ages 5 to 70, and they will present a wonderful show to get your Christmas Season off to merry start.

During the show, guests will meet all of the funny and friendly citizens of the little town of Christmas, including Skeezix and Sylvester, an elf comedy team that is short in stature and long in laughter; Dancer, the reindeer with a whacky sense of humor; Mrs. Clause, the REAL boss of the outfit; and a hilarious street corner Santa, tested and almost bested by one tough little kid with a sticky sucker. Throw in a wandering group of carolers who cough and sneeze on cue, three kids trying their best to be wise men in the Christmas play, and a riotous lecture on Christmas etiquette, and you’re in for an evening of holiday laughter and warmth. The show will conclude with refreshments and a chance to meet Santa. Be sure to bring your camera if you want to catch a picture of your little one with Santa.

The show will run for only one weekend and is expected to be sold out for every show. Show dates are Friday and Saturday, December 4th and 5th at 7:30 pm and Sunday, December 6th at 3:00 pm. If you plan to attend, you are encouraged to purchase your tickets early to guarantee a seat. If the show sells out, there will not be tickets available at the door. Tickets are only $5.00 for children through age 12, and $10 for ages 13 and up. They can be purchased by credit card at Winder City Hall at 770-867-3106 or with cash or check at Pam Veader’s State Farm Insurance Office at 41 S. Center Street in Winder (770-867-1679).

This Grassroots Arts Program is supported in part by the Georgia Council for the Arts through appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly. The Council is a partner agency with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Grassroots Arts Program is administered by The Arts Council, Inc., Gainesville, Georgia – Grassroots Regional Partner.

A part of every ticket cost will be donated to the Barrow County Family Connections where needy families are provided with Christmas gifts for their children. Any additional donations will be gladly accepted to help with this worthwhile project.

Plan now to attend the show and get your Christmas Season off to a great start.
