Small Pond Productions is having a Holiday Party and you’re invited!

Kick-off your Holidays with the cast from A Christmas Carol, who are taking this year off to spend the Holiday Season together. Reminisce about Christmas Carol’s past as we recreate some of our favorite scenes from this show; join the Honky Tonk Angels in “Santa Baby,” and “Jingle Bell Rock,” the Grinch (“You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch”) and the children from the cast singing “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer,” “Frosty the Snowman” and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.” While cast members offer up some of your favorite carols, “White Christmas,” “Winter Wonderland,” “Silver Bells” and many, many more Holiday favorites. And, there’s a very special presentation of “The Night Before Christmas.”

Joining us, in a special guest appearance, on Sat., Dec. 7, at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m., is Junction 1-3-5 with their very own barbershop rendition of “The Christmas Song” and “Mary Do You Know.”

And, we have a very special guest who is taking time out of his very busy schedule, the Jolly Man himself, Santa Claus!

So join, Ke’ala and Kieran Barnard, Rich and Traci Booth, David Chase, PJ Cooke, Jon and Kate Flower, Bryan Hebert, Erin Hughes, Jarrett Hull, Sonia Kibbee, Kay Lucius, Ray and Ann Mahoney, Jack and Katherine Morse, Henry Parkhurst, Faith Patenaude, Lisa Perreault, John Sansone, Donna Schauer, Gracyn and Gustyn Smith, Breanne Swanson, Bert Torsey and Leah Varney for Holiday Cheer. And, don’t forget our amazing band comprising of JoJo Mead (Music Director and Vocal Coach), Julie Armstrong (Flutist), Steve Armstrong (Bass), Deb Gordon (Clarinet), Joe McConnaughy (Violin. Fiddler) and Jon R. O’Brien (Keyboard).

"Wait 'til you see these three bombshells knock your socks off as they sing their boots off! A sweet story, great foot-stomping music to sing along with, and also some there-won't-be-a-dry-eye-in-the-house songs, and that's all she wrote! (Nope, don't want to spoil anything by talking about the great costumes, neither!)." ... Mia M.

"Really fun opening night for HTA with many singers in the audience, too with knee slappin' fun:) Mel came home and got out his Tammy Wynette vinyl and played me a few songs this afternoon. He knows more country than I do. He had fun harmonizing in the back seat with Rich, Jonathan, JoJo, Arthur & Lauralei! Break many more legs tonight and have a great remaining run this weekend and next! Hee haw:)" ... Barb A.

"Wonderful job last night. I couldn't stop grinning the whole time. I brought my grandma and it was a wonderful memory to share with her. Thank you! Best of luck next weekend. SO MUCH FUN!"... Deanna Z.

"Honky Tonk Angels was incredible fun. Great sing along songs from back in the day and some very poignant songs. Loved Angels Among Us. That song made many of us teary eyed. Great job Kate Flower, Traci Booth and Lisa Perreault. I really think there are angels among us who are here on earth to help and guide us. I know I have many." ... Debbie P.

"The show was FABULOUS!!! I recommend this show for everyone. Wonderful LOCAL talent!!!! Thank you for a great show! It was so much fun!!"... Carol S.

The story is about three good ‘ole Southern gals who meet on a bus to pursue their dreams of fame in fortune in the hometown of Country Music, Nashville, TN. Angela, leaves her neglectful husband home with their brood of kids; Darlene escapes from her father to seek her dreams and a live of servitude: Sue Ellen the multiple divorcée, searches for meaning in her life. When the gals meet and compare their loves and lives, share their hopes and dreams, The Honky Tonk Angels are born.

Filled with hand-clapping, foot-stomping songs such as “Rocky Top” and “Delta Dawn” to beautiful ballads such as “Calling All Angels” and “Ode to Billy Joe” there’s something for everyone. Based loosely on the lives of Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton and Tammy Wynette, THE HONKY TONK ANGELS features many of their more memorable songs such as: “Stand By Your Man,” “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” “9 to 5,” and “I Will Always Love You.”
