'Nick of Time' holiday show at Brewery Arts Center

Meet a theatre troupe whose Christmas spirit sparkles more than its acting talent as it struggles to put on the annual holiday show.

"¼The Nick of Time Christmas Show" appears 7:30 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Brewery Arts Center Donald W. Reynolds Theatre.

Tickets are $8 for general admission and $5 for children, students (with a student body card) and seniors. See boxoffice@carson.k12.nv.us.

A group sing-a-long plus a visit from Santa Claus makes this a family event. Directed by Karen Chandler, this comedy of errors begins with the preparation of a Christmas Eve production at the community center, where nothing is working right.

A joyous ending is assured in this show as the closing scene involves the audience in a Christmas carol sing-along.
