For Immediate Release

A VERY SPECIAL (Holiday) SPECIAL AT DREAMCATCHER

They just don't make holiday specials the way they used to… especially this one. If you enjoyed the corny fun of those old-fashioned holiday variety shows starring Andy Williams, Perry Como and The Mandrell Sisters, you’ll love A VERY SPECIAL (Holiday) SPECIAL at Dreamcatcher Repertory Theatre on Friday and Saturday, December 4 and 5 at 8:00 p.m. Located in the intimate third-floor theatre at The Baird Center at 5 Mead Street in South Orange, Dreamcatcher takes a break from its mainstage schedule to perform this affectionate spoof of traditional holiday entertainment.

The Dreamcatcher Resident Acting Company will entertain with holiday songs, comic sketches and improv, and lots of good old-fashioned fun. Each year’s show is original; last year’s performance included a Lion King meets Riverdance production number, take-offs on current reality shows and a post-holiday scene at the returns counter of a department store. Performing in the show are Dreamcatcher Company members Clark Carmichael, Harry Patrick Christian, Laura Ekstrand, Noreen Farley, Dave Maulbeck, David Miceli, and Janet Sales, and guests Angela Della Ventura and Jessica O’Hara-Baker.

A VERY SPECIAL (Holiday) SPECIAL, a unique and hilarious way to celebrate the holiday season, will take place at Dreamcatcher on Friday and Saturday, December 4 & 5 at 8:00 p.m. All tickets cost $17, and may be purchased online at www.dreamcatcherrep.org. The performance is at The Baird, located at 5 Mead Street in Meadowland Park, a few blocks from the center of downtown South Orange.
