American Stage Theatre Co Presents A TRUMAN CAPOTE CHRISTMAS 11/23-30

American Stage Theatre Company "After Hours" series continues with A Truman Capote CHRISTMAS STORY, Nov. 23 thru 30, 2009.

A play with music, A Truman Capote CHRISTMAS STORY stars Stephen Ray along with the acoustic band Not from Texas. A dramatization of Truman Capote's autobiographical holiday tale about one unforgettable Christmas, A Truman Capote CHRISTMAS STORY follows a young Truman as he is sent from his childhood home and his beloved cousin, Miss Sook, to a father he's never met. Far from the warmth and familiarity of small town dreams and family traditions, Truman learns the painful truths about his father, about Santa Claus and about love lost and found.

"We are very excited to bring Truman Capote's astonishing holiday tale to the stage with the great talent of Stephen Ray and the wonderful music of Not From Texas," said Todd Olson, American Stage's producing artistic director.
