Every Brilliant Thing
Dec 12 @ 8:00 pm
The Warehouse Theatre

In this transfer of the Alabama Shakespeare Festival’s production of EVERY BRILLIANT THING, you’re six years old. Mum’s in the hospital. Dad says she’s “done something stupid.” She finds it hard to be happy. So you start to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything that’s worth living for. 1. Ice cream. 2. Kung Fu movies. 3. Burning things. 4. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose. 5. Construction cranes. 6. Me. You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own. This heart-wrenching, hilarious play is just the ticket if you’re tired of Christmas plays this season and just want to think about those you love.

Since this is a Bonus Show to our Main Stage Season, tickets are only $20 for General Admission and $10 for Season Subscribers.

Tuna Christmas
Dec 12 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm
USC Upstate Theatre

A Tuna Christmas” is a broad comedy set in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas, the third-smallest town in the state. Centered on the town’s annual Christmas Yard Display Contest, won 14 times in a row by Vera Carp, a mysterious “Christmas Phantom,” known for vandalizing the yard displays, has the contestants on edge. Among the subplots are Stanley Bumiller’s attempts to end his probation and leave Tuna, Bertha Bumiller’s struggle to hold her family together at Christmas time, and Joe Bob Lipsey’s fight to mount successfully his production of “A Christmas Carol” despite the town controller of the electric company threatening to turn the lights off. The play is both an affectionate commentary and withering satire of small town, Southern life and attitudes.
