Adapted for the stage by Nigel Forde

 

October 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, & 17  

Atria Bell Court Gardens' Academy Hall Theater- 6653 E. Carondelet Dr.

 

"The Screwtape Letters is just about everything you want in a night at the theatre…THOUGHT-PROVOKING, ENGAGING, ENTERTAINING, INTELLIGENT, BITINGLY SATIRICAL and FUNNY exploration of profound issues of right and wrong."—Daniel Kelley, NYTheatre.com

 

Adapted from one of C. S. Lewis' most popular and influential books about spiritual warfare, The Screwtape Letters is a theatrically rich stage adaptation of the deliciously corrupt and satirically comic correspondence between Screwtape, a senior devil, and Wormwood, an inexperienced tempter.  Screwtape's advice on various methods of undermining faith and promoting sin is interspersed with observations on human nature and Christian doctrine—thereby challenging and changing our ideas of good and evil. 

 

 

 

CHRISTMAS MIRACLE ON MAIN STREET: A SMALL TOWN RADIO PLAY

Family-friendly dessert theatre    Based on a play by Greg Oliver Bodine,

and original LUX Theatre radio broadcast of Valentine Davies' Miracle On 34th Street  adapted by permission by Melanie David

 

December 8 – 12, 2010 Sahuaro Girl Scout Council Benefit December 8

Atria Bell Court Gardens' Academy Hall Theater- 6653 E. Carondelet Dr.

 

 

It's Christmas Eve in America's heartland and radio host Bjorn Gundlarrsen is preparing for the live telethon performance, Miracle On 34th Street, that will keep the tiny polka station afloat.  Unfortunately, the prize troupe of off-Broadway actors he's hired have all fallen ill to a dastardly combination of indigestible pork rinds and lutefisk!  With time running out, Bjorn enlists the reluctant small crew at the station to perform all the roles.  Can the show be saved in time?  After all, it's not like Christmas is known for miracles…

 

In this cleverly comical play within-a-play featuring the beloved family Christmas classic, Miracle On 34th Street, a few costumed actors portray all the characters with live, Foley sound effects and hilarious radio commercials set in a small town radio station on Christmas Eve.  Lots of favorite Christmas vocals will be served us with mouth-watering family-style desserts and drinks during the pre-show.  Personal singing telegrams will also be available upon request.
