The play is set in the 1940's - during the time of World War II. The play is centered around a small time radio show that is trying to put on a Christmas special. We meet the station manager - Arthur Kensington - and his assistant - Katie. Other people at the radio station include Pastor Sherman, Martha (a drama queen), and Simon (who has re-written the Christmas story as a Private Eye story!)When Simon blackmails Arthur into useing his version of the Christmas story, the chaos ensues! Meanwhile, this entire Shindig is being held at the town's USO. The USO is managed by Brenda (the "Barter Queen") and is hosted in Charlene's toy store. Helping them out is Charlene's grandson, Jimmy, who despretly wants to enlist. And all of those soliders hanging around the toy stor aren't helping! It is at this USO that we meet John Thomas, a returned war hero who is missing his right arm. While this may seem like a happy situation, that means that something is bound to go wrong!
Come and see this heart warming production on November 30th at 7:00 pm. Also performing will be the Children's Choir, the Young Thesbians (with their brief performance to remind us what a Christmas tree and it's decorations represent), and the Concert Choral. The show will take place at Family of Faith Church 6645 West Steger Road, Monee, IL. Addmision is free - a suggested donation is $2.00.
