Author: Julian Wiles
Director: Billie Nye-Muller
Genre: Children/Family Entertainment
Location: Colleen O Williams Theater
Synopsis:
"Mix together a batch of fruitcakes, three dozen Christmas trees, 10,000 outdoor Christmas lights, a chicken pox epidemic, two southern spinsters, an estranged old man, a lost cat named Tutti Fruitti and a Christmas hog named Buster, and you've got the recipe for a fun filled and touching evening filled with holiday cheer. Into this world comes Jamie, a kid who has run away from home and come as far as his money will take him. At first he thinks this town's inhabitants are "nuttier than fruitcakes," but soon he comes to admire, appreciate and adore this nutty little town. A moving story of alienation, understanding and reconciliation, "FrUiTCaKeS" provides audiences with a heaping helping of holiday warmth and Christmas cheer."
