Winter Wonderettes

One of the things I love most about my job is the importance I get to place on community involvement. Whether it's donations to local schools, or helping out various non profit groups, it's a pleasure for me to make us not just a store, but a part of the community.  So when the Coastal Repertory Theatre told us about their upcoming play that takes place in a hardware store, I knew we had to be part of it.

If you think their hardware store set looks rather realistic, that's because it is!  The pegboard and shelves are on loan from our store, along with many of the props.  When it came time to light up the stage with over 1,000 Christmas lights, we got them their special vintage-style bulb strings to make the scene feel like a 1968 hardware store!

They invited us to see the Saturday show, and after seeing the production I can honestly say, if you don't go and see the Winter Wonderettes it truly is your loss.  My friends and I haven't laughed so hard or had such a good time dancing in our seats in I don't know how long. The play was a top notch production that had us giggling nonstop.

Winter Wonderettes is running from November 22 - December 21.  Please don't miss out on this enjoyable, fun for the whole family, Christmas-themed production!
