--------------------------- ABBEVILLE  OPERA  HOUSE

   CHRISTMAS  SHOW

by Norm Foster

Santa Claus tries to fulfill a child's special Christmas wish while his staff attempts to overcome a supply shortage at the North Pole.

Destined to become a classic, DEAR SANTA carries us to the magical, timeless world of the North Pole, replete with offices, workshops, elves and of course, the jolly old leader himself.  The efficient-but-put-upon Chief of Staff, the dizzy housekeeper, the high-pressure sleigh salesman and the shop foreman who plays havoc with the English language are all hysterically funny and yet endearing.  These wacky characters keep the place running like clockwork!  So who knew that one child's letter could throw a monkey wrench into all of their plans?   

This is a laugh-filled holiday play innocent enough for the youngest boy or girl, and entertaining enough for adults.  Dear Santa is a sure fire hit for the whole family. 

A BRAND-NEW NON SEASON TICKET SHOW FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY!

DECEMBER 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 & 20

Fridays at 8pm

Saturdays at 3pm and 8pm

Winter Season 2008-2009

   The Sunshine Boys

      by Neil Simon

        November 14, 15, 21 and 22 - 2008

Al Lewis and Willie Clark played vaudeville as a team for

43 years,  but mutual dislike has kept them far apart

for the last 11 years.  Now CBS wants them to appear

in the History of Comedy, and their reunion sparks

delirious comedy.  This is Neil Simon at his best!

                                          January 23, 24, 30, 31

            February 6 and 7 - 2009

A delicious parody of the Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy

style of operetta that was the biggest Off-Broadway success

of 1959.  As a pastiche of the flowery operettas from a

bygone era, LITTLE MARY SUNSHINE hits the mark beautifully

as a wonderful addition to our turn-of-the-century Centennial

Season.  You'll be humming the tunes for weeks!
