More About

Meeting a sister they never knew about isn't the Christmas present the Futrelle sisters were hoping for this year, but in Christmas Belles, that's what they get. Of course, an extra sister doesn't stop the oft-married Honey Raye, jail bird Twink and pregnant Frankie from going about their usual holiday shenanigans. Honey Raye has pushed herself into the director's spot for the Christmas pageant, and in an effort to glamourize the show, she's written a part for Elvis into the Nativity story. (“You're going to be dazzled. You're going to feel like you've seen the baby Jesus born on Broadway,” she coos.) Twink has just gotten out of jail for accidentally burning down a good part of the town. (She was trying to burn her ex-boyfriend’s Dale Enhart memorabilia but it was a little windy that day and the fire got away from her.) And Frankie is about to pop out a set of twins at any moment. (This is her second go-round with motherhood. She had another set of twins 20 years ago. This late-in-life pregnancy was, uh, unplanned, to say the least.) 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. Sundays. Through December 19. Crighton Theatre, 234 Main Street, Conroe. For information, call 936-441-7469 or visit www.crightontheatre.org. $12 to $17.
Fridays-Sundays. Starts: Dec. 4. Continues through Dec. 19, 2010
