Dearly Departed, by David Botrell and Jessie Jones
Directed by Jason Caldwell
From the moment father Bud Turpin keels over at the breakfast table right on through his

living and dying in the Bible Belt than you can shake a corn dog at.

Blues for an Alabama Sky by Pearl Cleage
Directed by Nicole Littlejohn Jackson
The play brings together a rich cast of characters who reflect the conflicting currents of the
time through their overlapping personalities and politics. Set in the Harlem apartment of
Guy, a popular costume designer, and his friend, Angel, a recently fired Cotton Club back-
up singer, the cast also includes Sam, a hard-working, jazz-loving doctor at Harlem Hospital;
Delia, an equally dedicated member of the staff at the Sanger clinic; and Leland, a recent
transplant from Tuskegee, who sees in Angel a memory of lost love and a reminder of those
"Alabama skies where the stars are so thick it's bright as day."
December 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11
The Santaland Diaries by David Sedaris
Directed by Carolyn Sheppard Choe
The Santaland Diaries is David Sedaris’ hilarious send-up of his brief, misguided career as a
Macy’s elf. The show skewers our sentimental love of all things Christmas – the happy
children, the spritely elves, the gifts, the good cheer. Sedaris’ character, Crumpet the Elf,
shows us the other side of what it’s like to work at Santaland, and the result is bawdy and
irreverent, but always fun. This show is rated PG 13 for language and adult references.
December 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
In Bethlehem Inn by John W. Carter
- A Dinner Theatre Production! **
Directed by Nancy Caldwell
Those present are first-hand observers of the events that occurred on the night Christ was
born. The Innkeeper and his family are presiding over a dinner at this crowded inn. We are
the guests. Our dinner is interrupted by Joseph and Mary asking for a room. It is interrupted
again by the announcement of a fiery star above the stable and then by a band of
shepherds looking for the baby. (** In Bethlehem Inn will have special dinner theatre pricing)
