Barter Theatre Stages WOODEN SNOWFLAKES

We guarantee you will find a thrill of hope in "Wooden Snowflakes," an original play written by our resident playwright Catherine Bush. This heart-warming Appalachian Christmas story runs Nov. 20 - Dec. 23 at Barter Stage II.

"Wooden Snowflakes" takes place on Christmas Eve as two unlikely strangers are trapped together for the holiday. The cynical Eve Lawson refuses to believe in Santa Claus and the magic of Christmas, but Simon Whitaker is an expert on all things Christmas, he even wears the suit to prove it.

Can Simon convince Eve of the magic and miracles to be discovered on Christmas? This is a story full of surprises, where the joyful spirit of one person might be enough to convince Eve to open her heart.

Tickets start at $20; to book your seats, call 276-628-3991 or visit www.BarterTheatre.com
