Chaps! A Jingle Jangle Christmas at Orlando Shakespeare Theater in Partnership with UCF. It's 1944, years into World War II, and the heyday of singing cowboys on radio and the silver screen. Allied troops from around the world are anxiously awaiting the live, in-studio BBC broadcast of radio and film star Tex Riley and his Radio Roundup. When Tex and his fellow cowboys get lost in London minutes before airtime, the motley BBC crew suddenly find themselves in the 'trenches.' Out of desperation, Mabel, their tour manager, and Miles, the frantic young producer, grab anyone - a snobby announcer, an amiable sound man, a passing soap opera actor - slap them into costume, hand them scripts and shove them in front of the studio audience. The resulting performance is one that England will never forget! Chaps! A Jingle Jangle Christmas features many famous cowboy tunes including, 'Tumblin' Tumbleweeds, ' 'Cool Water,' 'Gunslinger,' and 'Ride, Cowboy, Ride'.

Just in time for the holiday season, Orlando Shakespeare Theater in Partnership with UCF presents CHAPS! A JINGLE JANGLE CHRISTMAS with a book by Jahnna Beecham and Malcome Hillgartner and vocal arrangements by Malcome Hillgartner and Chip Duford. The show runs December 1-26 and tickets are on sale now.
