A Yankee Christmas with Fred Marple and Rebecca Rule at The Park Theatre

A Yankee Christmas with Fred Marple and Rebecca Rule
 
Yankee humorists Fred Marple and Rebecca Rule bring holiday hilarity to the Park Theatre on Friday, Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. “Tis the season to be jolly,” Fred says. “Even if you haven’t decorated the tree, bought the turkey, or found a present for cousin Earl who invited himself for the holidays.”
 
Fred will be bringing the news from his hometown of Frost Heaves, New Hampshire, the most under-appreciated town in New Hampshire. Becky will share true stories she has collected from across New England as only she can. It’s an evening of laughter, music, and prizes, the perfect way to kick off the holiday season.
 
Fred Marple is the unofficial spokesman for the mythical town of Frost Heaves, mostly because everyone else has a real job. Fred has appeared on New Hampshire Chronicle, on the radio, and in the pages of Yankee Magazine and New Hampshire Magazine. His video spoof “Yoga for Yankees” has been viewed on-line over 6 million times. “Which just goes to show that folks have too much time on their hands,” says Fred.
 
Rebecca Rule, host of Our Hometown on NHPBS, has been telling stories for more than thirty years, at libraries, historical societies, church groups, and charitable organizations across New England. She likes collecting stories because “they’re free and you don’t have to dust them." She is the author of several books including Headin’ for the Rhubarb, A NH Dictionary (well, kinda) and That Reminds Me of a Funny Story.
 
The show is family friendly and appropriate for all ages. Fred says, “We are wicked excited to be coming to the Park Theatre, which smells a lot better than the grange hall in Frost Heaves.”
