Christmas Show, Auditions, Season Tickets

Published on: November 12, 2014

Winder-Barrow Community Theatre is excited to announce their annual Christmas show which will be presented the first weekend in December. “Santa Lives! Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus” by R. Eugene Jackson will open on Friday, December 5th, at 7:30 pm at the Winder Cultural Arts Center. The show will run on Saturday the 6th at 7:30 p.m. and also on Sunday the 7th at 3:00 pm. This play was inspired by the 1897 editorial “Is There a Santa Claus?” by Francis Church. The cast is composed of children and adults ages 5 and up, and it is a wonderful family play. Make your plans to attend and get into the Christmas spirit. After the show you will be invited to a reception to meet the cast and Santa Claus. Be sure to bring your camera for a picture with Santa.

Tickets are now on sale at the Winder Customer Care Center (770-867-3106 prompt 1 for Event Ticket Sales) or at Pam Veader’s State Farm Insurance Office at 41 S. Center Street in Winder (770-867-1679). Children to age 12 are only $5.00 each. Ages 13 and older are $10.00 each. Be sure to buy your tickets in advance to guarantee a seat since the Christmas shows normally have large crowds.

Auditions for the first show of the 2015 Season will be held on December 8th & 9th at 7:00 pm at the Winder Cultural Arts Center theater. “Smoke on the Mountain” is a musical comedy that takes place in a church, and the cast members will be singing and/or playing instruments.
