This Week in Chester
Tomorrow night, Wednesday, the Chester Drama Society opens The Christmas Fund-raiser at the Chester Playhouse at 7:30 pm. This show runs until Saturday night and has something for the whole family.
Lightly
pack an eclectic and dysfunctional group of townsfolk into a
small, sweltering space in the school basement for an emergency
Christmas Fund-raising meeting. Add equal and generous measures of
anxiety, impatience and competitiveness. Fold in a variety of
self-serving and less than savoury agendas. Stir in a pinch of paranoia,
a sprinkle of entitlement and equal dashes of emotional outburst and
bragging. Toss in a bag of fruit flavoured gummy bears. Let sit until
ingredients react. Mix thoroughly and watch the ideas bubble while
tempers simmer and craziness come to a full boil. It's the recipe for a
tasty comedy that takes the term "Christmas High" to a whole new
meaning.
Opening Night tickets are $10 and only available at the
door. Proceeds from opening night go to the Lighthouse Food Bank. From
Thursday to Saturday tickets are $18 Adult, $15 Youth/Senior.
Tickets are going fast ... 902-275-3933.
The
Playhouse is offering up some beautiful Lunenburg County fresh balsam
fir wreaths for $35 with complimentary delivery within the village. Get
'em while they're hot.
