Cabaret shows on tap at theatre

Tune in to your holiday spirit at one of two Christmas Cabaret performances at Port Aransas Community Theatre this weekend.

Those present will be giving back to the community by attending the yuletide show. The admission price to each show is a donation of non-perishable foods for the Port Aransas Helping Hands Food Pantry. The food donations should be brought to the theater at the time of the performance.

The shows will include a variety of holiday melodies performed at the theater, 2327 State Hwy. 361.

Shows will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Dec. 14-15.

The cabaret storyline is the PACT family getting together for Christmas. They meet at the home of Mom and Dad. Grandpa and the new step-grandma are there, as well as Grandpa's exwife, who, of course, is still Grandma to the kids.

A little discontentment is obvious at the beginning, but the holiday spirit soon takes over, and the family becomes one.

The cast is huge, with aunts, uncles, cousins and kids everywhere. About 20 children and young adults, singing and rapping their favorite carols, will join the adult PACT family of about 15 people.

No reserved seating will be available. Doors will open 45 minutes prior to performances.

For more information, call PACT at 749-6036 or Jack Dreessen at 749- 2725.
