By Lynne Halliday, James Hindman, Arlene Hutton and Craig Pospisil
A heartwarming and humorous holiday play that weaves together eight interconnected stories, all unfolding in a bustling Midwestern mall on the final shopping day before Christmas. The diverse cast of characters—ranging from a lovesick mall Santa and an overly enthusiastic security guard to misfit teens and feuding stage actors—navigate the joys, mishaps, and unexpected moments that define the season. Whether it’s rekindling old flames, forming new friendships, or facing life’s small yet significant choices, each story adds to the festive tapestry of emotions. Filled with charm, laughter, and a touch of holiday magic, the play captures the spirit of human connection and the wonder of Christmas Eve in one memorable setting.

Summer Camp production of The Little Mermaid Jr.
In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home — and her fins — behind and live in the world above. But first, she’ll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she’s the girl whose enchanting voice he’s been seeking.
After two weeks, our camp participants showcase what they’ve learned in a wonderful production of Disney’s Little Mermaid Jr. It is an abridged version of the show but still has all the songs and the story we’ve come to know and love. Great way to introduce young audience members to live theatre. Visit nlt.booktix.com to purchase tickets when they are available for public purchase.

Mrs. Stancliffe’s Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast has been successful for many years. Her guests (nearly all women) return year after year. Her next-door neighbor, the elderly, silver-tongued Bud “Bud the Stud” Davis, believes they come to spend time with him in romantic liaisons. Her other neighbor and would-be suitor, Henry Mitchell, is a retired chemist who has developed a blue pill to increase the libido of menopausal women. Add to the guest list a romance novelist whose personal life seems to be lacking in romance; a friend of Henry’s who has agreed to test his pills; and a “Southern Belle” whose libido does not need to be increased. The fun begins as Bud attempts to entertain all three women! After the women replace Bud’s Viagra pills, we soon discover that the new drug has a strange effect on men.

Set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. The eager new assistant, Annelle assists the outspoken, wisecracking Truvy dispensing shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby, is about to get married. The play moves forward over years, and we see all the ladies’ lives change with new experiences and tragedy. The women are affected but draw on the underlying strength—and love.
