What the Play is About

The play is the second part of Santa Dairies presented by the Vanity in 2018 and like that show, this will be the Indiana premier.

Five years ago Will Hawes and his high school sweetheart moved to Hollywood. Everyone assumed they would be married, but they quickly became the hottest couple in town. So now they return seeking a simple, small-town, Christmas Wedding.

However, to get time away they had to agree that their wedding would be filmed for a TV Special. The wedding quickly consumes everything, even replacing the town annual Christmas Eve production of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

Of course, when Hollywood and TV get involved a simple, small-town, Christmas Wedding becomes a big production so that there is nothing either simple or small-town remaining. Did we mention this would be a Reality TV show?

Finally, everyone has had enough and a revolt against the “Hollywooding” of everything and everyone, and then returns us to a simple, small-town, Christmas Wedding.
