Guys in Disguise presents With Bells On at the Varscona Theatre from December 18-21. All evening shows are at 7:30pm, and the Saturday matinee is at 2:00pm.
He is a mild-mannered accountant with persistent bad luck who heads out for his first night of adventure after a nasty divorce. He holds the door for “She”, a 7-foot Glamazon who lives down the hall, who has “decked the halls” by creating the Ultimate Christmas Queen Pageant Outfit. They begin what should be an uneventful ride down to the main floor lobby.
But then the elevator gets stuck, and the unlikely duo is forced to work together to escape. The stakes are as high as her sparkly head-dress – “She” needs to be onstage by midnight, or relinquish her claim to the crown.
This holiday treat features the talents of James Hamilton as the quiet accountant, and Jake Tkaczyk as the mysterious Amazonian glamourpuss, as well as the debut of a brand new Christmas Queen costume by Trevor Schmidt!
With Bells On shows that the best gifts sometimes arrive in the most unlikely of packages.
Tickets are $30, plus applicable fees.
