This touching Christmas story will get you in the holiday mood early this year. It is the story of a man who owns a gas station and repair shop and it takes place during the Christmas season. Into this station enter several characters in need. The garage owner is a man named George who is still trying to heal from the loss of his wife, but he’s also a man who’s generosity knows no bounds. As each new soul walks into his tiny garage, we see George go out of his way to show them true Christmas spirit. Also appearing in and out of the garage is a “stranger.” He says very little but somehow seems to know a whole lot about George. Who is this stranger? What does he want? Questions are answered and miracles are revealed when a reunion happens between George and a long lost relative. Bring your entire family and enjoy a little “Christmas in August”. You will be glad you did.

This hilarious farce is about an aspiring amateur photographer named Rob who is in love with Robin, the daughter of a women’s lingerie manufacturer. It is the day of a very important photo shoot for their new catalogue and the hotshot French fashion photographer, Jean-Claude, and the equally famous French model, Marie-Brigitte, are both AWOL. The owner of the lingerie company is a hard-nosed businessman who wants everything to go seamlessly and mostly he wants it all wrapped up in a timely manner so Rob and Robin decide to try and do the photo shoot by having Rob impersonate Jean-Claude and Robin stand in as Marie-Brigitte. They think they may have a shot at pulling off the shoot, but when the other models show up and start questioning the phony photographer and model, complications arise. Things get even worse when Robin’s dad returns to check on the shoot with his wife, who, as chance would have it, has worked with the real Jean-Claude before when she was still a model. All the ingredients for a true farce are present...mistaken identity, fast-paced comedic timing, and lots of girls running around in lingerie. This is one that will have you laughing out loud!

This funny play is about the power of love and its ability to overcome even the most difficult obstacles. The play centers around a group of imps who’s job is to go around doing mischievous deeds to humans. Locked your keys in your car when you’re already late for an appointment? That was probably the work of an imp. They aren’t responsible for truly heinous crimes, but they are behind those little annoyances that occur when you least need them to. The main character of the play is George, but he ‘s in trouble with the other imps because he’s turned soft. He has lost his ability to do mean deeds and the penalty for not doing his job is death. The other imps warn him to get back out there and do some evil work or pay the ultimate price so George sets out to locate the source of his loss of evil power...a baby. Coming in contact with an innocent baby while doing his job caused him to rethink his evil ways and now he’s on a mission to find that baby and set things straight so he can be a great imp once more. But when he finds the baby, she’s all grown up and she’s the woman who captures his heart. Written by local stand up comic, Johnny Worsham and performed by a cast of comedians and local actors, this is one that you’ll have to see to believe!
