PRTC Announces Ninth Annual Jeff Daniels Holiday Concert Schedule

The Purple Rose Theatre Company will present Jeff Daniels' one-man show Onstage & Unplugged for a limited nine-show engagement from Saturday, December 26, 2009, through Sunday, January 3, 2010. (Editors' Note: Please find a full performance / pricing schedule on page 2). All performances are at The Purple Rose Theatre Company, 137 Park Street, Chelsea, MI 48118.
 
Daniels (Executive Director and PRTC founder) returns to the PRTC stage in a solo performance with blues guitar and an arsenal of songs that are alternately humorous and poignant. This year's lineup will feature new selections and crowd favorites from Daniels' critically acclaimed CDs.
 
The original Onstage & Unplugged was a huge success in 2001, with all three performances selling out in one day. Audiences laughed uproariously as Daniels told the stories behind each song and delivered them with his unique, wry humor. The ongoing popularity of the event led Daniels to book a national tour which began in 2006 and is still going strong.
 
Sales from Daniels' albums benefit The Purple Rose Theatre Company and are available for sale at the PRTC Box Office or at www.jeffdaniels.com; information about Daniels' national tour schedule is also available at www.jeffdaniels.com.
 
The production team for Onstage & Unplugged will include Dana Gamarra as stage manager and Gary Ciarkowski as lighting designer and audio engineer.
