ABOUT THE PLAY

It's four days before Christmas in the tiny town of Tinsel, Texas, and a colorful parade of eccentric guests arrive at the Snowflake Inn and deck the halls with holiday hilarity! Trina, the harried yet upbeat innkeeper,
has more than she can handle coping with these nuttier-than-a-fruitcake lodgers. Hoyt and his sister Donna Jo make the mistake of trying to end a 35-year feud between their curmudgeonly aunts, Ennis and Della, with sidesplitting results. Ainsley and Lenora, self-involved actors from a lower-than-low-budget touring production of “A Christmas Carol,” descend on the Inn to fulfill a promise, leaving comedic chaos in their wake. Add to this Yuletide mayhem an ill-advised romantic rendezvous between Mrs. Claus and one of Santa's elves, a demanding guest who refuses to leave, and a tipsy housekeeper, it's clear it will take more than a kiss under the mistletoe to keep Trina's spirits merry and bright. But a spur-of-the-moment Christmas Eve wedding that brings together the Futrelle sisters - Honey Raye, Twink, Frankie, and Rhonda Lynn - and their friend Raynerd takes a surprising and delightful turn that leads to a laugh-til-your-sides-ache climax, changing all of their lives forever.
This family-friendly Christmas comedy is more fun than a joy ride in a one-horse open sleigh!
