The Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop cordially invites you to usher in
the Holidays with your talented and dedicated community members. On
Friday and Saturday, December 12 & 13, at 7:00pm and Sunday,
December 14, at 2:00pm, the SCDW will perform three concise skits –
each will warm your heart and tickle your emotions.
We start the show with an original play written and directed by Jean Eifert,
entitled Molly’s Holiday Gift”. With Christmas rapidly approaching, Molly,
who is of the Jewish faith, grows increasingly upset that all school activities
focus on Christmas rather than on Hannukah. In this heartwarming tale,
Molly’s classmates devise a plan to provide Molly with an unexpected
holiday “gift”.
Then, a throwback to a 1953 episode of the popular radio show “Dragnet”
titled “The Big Little Jesus” will be performed. In this staged reading, our
actors portray two police officers investigating the theft of a statue of the
infant Jesus from a Los Aneles church. It is imperative that the statue be
found before the Midnight Mass service. Ultimately, the statue is returned in
an unexpected and emotional turn of events. Director Dawn Perneszi
brings this story to life!
And finally, who can forget “Our Miss Brooks”? The SCDW thespians
perform the episode “Christmas Gift Mix-up” in which, working on a limited
budget, Miss Brooks regifts a present given to her by her landlady to her
colleague Mr. Boynton, who subsequently regifts the item to Principal
Conklin. In turn, Conklin regifts the item to the Head of the Board of
Education. As the characters unknowingly regift the same item hilarious
comedic confusion ensues. Playfully directed by Peter Nastasi, expect to
end the show with a smile.
All three pieces will be performed at the Cornell Cooperative Extension
building, 64 Ferndale Loomis Road, Liberty. General admission is $12 and
includes coffee, tea and desserts – or donate a toy (value $5 or more) for
our Toys for Tots and pay only $7.00.
