Depot Players to Present 'FRUITCAKE AND EGGNOG'

Family, friends and fruitcake make the holidays fun - but only eggnog can take the edge off the stress that can result from the all holiday frenzy! Come experience the joy and the music of Christmas with the Wetumpka Depot Player's original work, Eggnog and Fruitcake: A Tacky Christmas Sweater Extravaganza! Audiences are sure to see their own families exposed as the Depot celebrates the good, the bad and the hilarious side of our holiday traditions.

Depot Executive Director Kristy Meanor is excited about the Depot's first holiday show for adults.

"The Depot Players have a 11 year history of providing holiday shows to school audiences and now we are delighted to include our adult audiences. We hope our patrons will take a break from holiday hustle and bustle and join us us for some cabaret style Christmas cheer" said Meanor. "The original script takes a humorous and nostalgic look at holidays and especially the traditions here in the Deep South. Some of the stories were even contributed by the actors in the show - and the music ranges from holiday classics to an original lament on the three most dreaded words in the English Language - Some Assembly Required!"

Audiences are invited to play along and wear their tackiest Christmas sweater for a chance to win some special prizes during each performance.

The play features Depot favorites Kim Mason, Cheryl Jones, Cindy Veazey, Jennifer Haberkorn, Kristy Meanor, David Woodall, Jeff Langham and Tom Salter. Salter, award winning director of Second Samuel and playwright of another homegrown Depot hit, The Wedding from Hell is directing. Audience members will also have the opportunity to purchase Depot Season Tickets before and after each performance. Season ticket gift certificates will be available for purchase during each performance with gift wrapping available.

Eggnog and Fruitcake performances are December 11, 12, 18 at 730pm and December 14 at 2pm. Tickets may be purchased by calling the box office at 334.868.1440 or online at wetumpkadepot.com.
