The Bench - A Story of Christmas

December 1,2,8,9,15,16 at 7:30PM
December 10, 17 at 2PM

Written by Larry Larson & Eddie Lee

The Bench carries a Christmas theme, and runs from December 1 to 17.  The playwrights, Larry Larson and Eddie Levi Lee, weave a sentimental story involving two men who meet on a bench while waiting for their wives at the mall. 

As the weeks towards Christmas progress, they get to know each other, meet other mall characters, and enjoy mall entertainment, including a version of A Christmas Carol performed in under 5 minutes, carolers singing and is great for the entire family to see. 

Hilariously funny, The Bench doesn't shy away from emotion.  It has a warm happy ending that you will love. .
