"Seasonal Lights" from WT Productions enters its final three performances at GreenMan Theatre this weekend

A patron from the first weekend commented, "We like how the stories / acting / writing have matured over the years. This year I feel each one was a little dark, but that's what we liked about them. Each skit seemed to have an outsider character and that is how life is. In the end, Christmas is about opening up to new people and ideas--to do a little soul searching."

WT Productions continues their Seasonal tradition with this seventh production of six all-original short plays that look at Christmas and the winter holiday season from a variety of perspectives. These offbeat and quirky plays offer a fresh take at "the most wonderful time of the year."

"Seasonal Lights" is written, produced, and directed by Debbi Dennison & Carl Zeitler. The show features a cast of Debbi Dennison, Danny Glenn, Kim Green, Tony Lage, Debbie Roberts, Kate Roberts, Laura Strojny, Julane Sullivan, Bruce Worthel, Carl Zeitler, and Troy & Roy as themselves.

Get your tickets now for this fundraiser for GreenMan Theatre. Please help support local theatrical arts and original material. Tickets are $25. GreenMan Theatre is located at First United Methodist Church of Elmhurst at 232 S. York in Elmhurst.

"Seasonal Lights" is appropriate for PG-13 audiences.

WT Productions turns on the "Seasonal Lights" at GreenMan Theatre one week from tonight.

"Seasonal Lights" by Debbi Dennison & Carl Zeitler is a new collection of six short plays that takes Christmas and the winter holidays and looks at them from different perspectives. Each play tells a different story and elements of the first five plays come together in the finale in the traditional Seasonal style. "Seasonal Lights" blends light comedy, dark comedy, and drama to put a unique spin on this traditional time of year.

The cast features Debbi Dennison, Danny Glenn, Kim Green, Tony Lage, Debbie Roberts, Kate Roberts, Laura Strojny, Julane Sullivan, Bruce Worthel, Carl Zeitler, and Troy & Roy as themselves.

"Seasonal Lights" represents the first production in WT Productions' second volume of Seasonal shows and seventh overall. The first volume of six shows all dealt with some aspect of a Christmas present. The first production was "Seasonal Ties" in 2017, followed by "Seasonal Bows," "Seasonal Wraps," "Seasonal Tags," "Seasonal Bags," and "Seasonal Gifts." All of those productions were written, produced, and directed by Dennison and Zeitler, who are the co-founders of WT Productions.

"I am so proud of what we've accomplished with these shows. From day one, we have set out to show that the holidays can stir up a wide range of emotions and experiences. We still stand by that mission to present all sides...the good, the bad, and the quirky," Dennison said.

"Seasonal Lights" is a fundraiser for GreenMan Theatre Troupe. The production runs during the weekends of December 6-8 & 13-15. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees begin at 2 p.m. GreenMan Theatre Troupe is located at First United Methodist Church of Elmhurst at 232 S. York in Elmhurst. Free parking is available.

"Working specifically with WT Productions is exciting because their Seasonal plays are a known property to audiences. We are able to bring our excellence in front of house and tech, with use of the space and they are able to bring the high quality production and the audience. Our audience that comes to see GreenMan shows will also get to see a special holiday show. This will be a great finale to our busy fall," GreenMan Board President Becca Easley stated.

Tickets are $25 and are now on sale. Full show info and tickets available at https://wtproductions2.weebly.com/seasonal-lights.html Tickets can also be purchased on the date of the performance via walk-in audience members, if available, by cash or credit card. With this intimate venue, it is recommended to purchase your tickets in advance.

"Seasonal Lights" is Troy & Roy Recommended and appropriate for PG-13 audiences due to language and content.
