LOWER LAKE — Hold on to your hats, comedy fans! The funniest thing since “Greater Tuna” is now in rehearsal! This production by Lake County Theatre Company (LCTC) is called “Christmas Belles” and it features the “fine ladies” of Fayro, Texas as they struggle to present their annual Christmas Pageant…and with a new director! Can you imagine?
This pageant will include a surprise pregnancy, a prisoner on temporary release, a lost relative and a love-sick sheriff. Why, heck! Nearly everybody will be there!
There is no better way to jump start your Christmas holiday season than to laugh your way through “Christmas Belles” and a visit from Santa like nothing you have seen before!
“Christmas Belles” is written by a genius group of writers, Jesse Jones, Nicholas Hope and James Wooten. The characters ? portrayed by the talented LCTC cast ? will demonstrate a well-known truth: Anything that can go wrong with a pageant, will … and especially in Texas!
