Lakes Area Players
A Christian Theatrical Troupe
Are you fascinated by simpler times ? Do you long for someone to remind you of the decades of bygone years ? And you younger folks who have heard talk about the early days of the big band sounds and rock ‘ n ’ roll ; learning new dance crazes such as the Twist and the Jitterbug ….
Come with me and I ' ll open for you a window into the past ..... we ' ll catch a glimpse of the music and memories of a time gone by from the era of the 1950 ’ s . Before television was the new entertainment , we had RADIO ! There was music , adventure programs such as ‘ The Lone Ranger ’; ‘ I Love Lucy ’; ‘ The Adventures of Superman ’ and then the variety programs like ‘ The Arthur Godfrey Show ”; “ the Jack Benny Show ” and the list goes on .
The Lakes Area Players and Quaker Haven Camp would like to take you back in time to those glorious days this December with their newest production of “ CHRISTMAS ON THE AIR ” when radio programs were presented “ live ” before a studio audience with music by an adult choir , children ’ s choir , actors portraying ‘ unusual ’ characters , sound effects all with You as the studio audience ! Best of all , the show will include a classic Christmas dinner by the Quaker Haven Culinary Staff .
You will have an upfront view of the presenting of this wonderful program featuring a Stage Manager [ who is the boss type of the show ]; the Radio Announcer ; the musical sounds of Christmas by an adult and children ’ s choir ; Sound Effects by a talented sound man who may need helpers from the audience from time to time ; and some wonderful actors who will portray some “ unusual ” characters that will delight you in the telling of Jesus birth from the Bible in a unique way .
Performances will be held in the Quaker Haven Dining Hall located at 111 EMS D16 Lane , Syracuse , IN where you , the audience will be part of the live action in our Radio station . Performances will be November 30 ; December 1 , 7 & 8 at 7 PM with a matinee on nd
December 2 at 2 PM . Reservations can be made by calling Quaker Haven Camp at 574-834-4193 . Tickets are $ 20 for adults and $ 13 for children ages 5 – 12 years old .
Get ready to inhale the sweet incense of nostalgia .... you ' ll chuckle ( maybe even belly laugh a time or two ), reminisce , and perhaps even shed a few tears .
But I firmly believe you ' ll feel refreshed by the power of hearing this true story of Christmas and a simple stroll down memory lane .
