| University Theatre presents Christmas Belles |
Nov.
19 - 23 |
| Talley
Student Center Ballroom, Times Vary. The authors of last year’s sold-out production of Dearly Departed have created a hilarious holiday spectacle guaranteed to bring joy to your world! It’s Christmastime in the small town of Fayro, Texas, and overdue twins, inadvertent fires, and a church Christmas program that is spiraling into chaos are keeping the Futrelle Sisters – Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye – from enjoying the festivities. Santa has a kidney stone, food poisoning devastates the cast, and a carefully guarded family secret is about to come to light – but the feuding Futrelle sisters find a way to pull together to present a Christmas program the citizens of Fayro will never forget. At intermission, join the “Ladies Auxiliary” for punch and pastries sponsored by Catering Works. Purchase tickets from Ticket Central at 919.515.1100 or www.ncsu.edu/arts. |
