Tickets to this event are free, but donations are appreciated. With Bells On! is a fabulous musical comedy that celebrates the holiday spirit by taking it to new heights! One fateful Christmas Eve, Ted, a timid, middle aged accountant with persistent bad luck is in the middle of a nasty divorce. Hopeless and depressed, he is about to take the elevator of his highrise up to the roof to end it all. His efforts are suddenly interrupted by a tenant who lives down the hallNatasha, a statuesque Drag Queen dressed in the ultimate Christmas-Queen pageant outfit. She barges into the elevator on her way to the main floor lobby. But when the elevator abruptly gets stuck between floors, both Teds plan and Natashas dream of competing for the title of Christmas Queen are in jeopardy. The stakes are as high as her holiday-themed headdress. She needs to be onstage by midnight or she will relinquish her claim to the crown. This unlikely duo is forced to work together to escape. Natasha is at first prickly and defensive. Ted is terrified but curious. Eventually native hostilities melt as they discover what they have in commonthat deep down, they are not so different after all. With Bells On! is a holiday comedy for people who feel excluded from traditional Christmas entertainment. The music in the show is an eclectic mix of contemporary musical theatre, pop, traditional holiday & disco!Performances will be located outdoors in the courtyard of the Bingham Camp for Covid-19 safety for all. Masks are required for those who are not vaccinated.
