Liven up holidays with "A Taffeta Christmas"

"A Taffeta Christmas," music and lyrics by Rick Lewis and directed by Branda Lyttle, will be presented Dec. 5–7 and 12–14 at the Cheyenne Little Theatre Players' Mary Godfrey Playhouse in Cheyenne. Performances on Dec. 5,6,12 and 13 are at 7:30 p.m.; Dec. 7 and 14 performances are at 2 p.m.

Here's a play synopsis: "A Taffeta Christmas" tells the story of four sisters from Muncie, Ind., who have gone off to find fame and fortune in New York City with this new medium called television. Now the sisters have returned in triumph to Muncie to do a live broadcast (all TV was live then) from their hometown on the old Dumont Television Network. The play mixes the nostalgic music of the 1950s with some great timeless Christmas songs.
