Preview of 'Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings' at the Warner's Nancy Marine Studio Theatre

Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings

Begins this weekend at the Warner

Torrington, CT –The Warner Stage Company will present Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings, Dec 7-15 in the Warner’s Nancy Marine Studio Theatre.

This show offers the best of FOREVER PLAID tied-up in a nifty package with a big Christmas bow on top! Filled with Christmas standards that have all been “Plaid-erized,” the boys are back to do their Christmas Special.

At first Francis (played by Ian Diedrich), Jinx (Meric Martin), Smudge (Dan Porri), and Sparky (Bret Bisaillon) aren’t sure why they’ve returned to Earth for another posthumous performance, but a phone call from the heavenly Rosemary Clooney lets them know that they’re needed to put a little harmony into a discordant world. Sprinkled among the Christmas offerings are audience favorites like their riotous three minute and eleven second version of “The Ed Sullivan Show” - this time featuring the Rockettes, the Chipmunks and The Vienna Boys Choir, and a Plaid Caribbean Christmas which puts the “Day-O” in Excelsis!

The Warner Stage Company production of Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings is directed/choreographed by Sharon Wilcox with Musical Director, Aaron J. Bunel.

Tickets are $26 and can be purchased by calling the Warner box office at 860-489-7180 or online at www.warnertheatre.org
