The Twelve Dates of Christmas

December 8, 2019, 12:30 PM - 5:00 PM @ The Eagle Performing Arts and Conference Center

After seeing her fiance kiss another woman at the televised Thanksgiving Day Parade, Mary's life falls apart -- just in time for the holidays. Over the next year, she stumbles back into the dating world, where "romance" ranges from weird and creepy to absurd and comical. It seems nothing can help Mary's growing cynicism, until the charm and innocence of a five-year-old boy unexpectedly brings a new outlook on life and love. This heartwarming play offers a hilarious and modern alternative to the old standards of the holiday season. Tickets go on sale Monday, October 21 and are $37 each. Show dates are December 6-8 and 13-15. Friday and Saturdays are evening performances with doors opening at 6:00 and dinner starting at 6:15. Sundays are matinees with doors opening at 12:30 and dinner starting at 12:45. Bernardi's II of Pontiac will be catering the buffet meal.
