Christmas Belles by Serendipity Players - Nutty as a fruitcake.

Christmas Belles by the Serendipity Players - Nutty as a fruitcake.

Christmas Belles by Serendipity Players - Nutty as a fruitcakeA grumpy Santa ( he's suffering from kidney stones), a reluctant Elvis impersonator and squabbling sisters bring small-town charm to life in the Serendipity Players production of "Christmas Belles." The production runs November 1st through December 23rd at the Serendipity Playhouse in downtown Vancouver.

The Futrell Sisters are far from festive as the church Christmas program, which they are directing, turns nutty as a fruitcake. Frankie is overdue with a set of twins, Honey Raye is suffering from hot flashes and Twink is in jail for trying to destroy her ex-boyfriends Nascar memorabilia. Their nemesis refers to the trio as " the fertile, the flirt and the felon."

More about the Serendipty Players and the Christmas Belles

Christmas BellesSerendipity Players is a non-profit community-building theater company serving the Southwest Washington metro- area. Their mission statement sums it up - " Great Theater Includes Everybody."  The group is currently asking for donations to help them make some minor construction alterations needed for the theater to comply with code. 

If you're looking for an alternative to the usual Christmas productions, this is one to consider. Tickets are $15, on-line at serendipity players.org, or at the door. "Christmas Belles" by the Serendipity Players sounds like it might be nutty as a fruitcake. Doesn't that sound like fun?

It's that time of year to get our Christmas spirit on and Christmas Belles sounds a good way to do it.

Good luck and success.

Hi Debb -- The Christmas Belles sounds like a lot of fun. Wouldn't that be a perfect activity for an Active Rain meet-up?

Congratulations on your AR achievement! I'm delighted Sharon Lee's post this morning brought me over here. (And your first post was beautiful--I'd love an update and know how that family is faring now, 18+ months later.)

Lou! Sorry to miss you. I must have been writing a reply when you commented. Thanks much.

Hi again Lottie - don't you love happy endings.  I can hardly wait to help them find the perfect new home.

Now that would be a fun evening Alexandra.

Hi Roger -  merci! Happy Friday and Happy Dance to you. ( I agree this play sounds simliar to a Greater Tuna Christmas - and Pump Boys and Dinettes, both favorites of mine).
