Christmastime is a wonderful time of year because of the cheer and bliss that goes around. However, it can also be a sad and lonely reminder of the losses and hardships in life. In some families, Christmas is great. They are brought together to a huge meal and given piles of presents from under a lush green and brightly lit Christmas tree. There is laughter and singing and memories are created. On the other hand, it can also be a sorrowful time where you are lonely, cold and without people to share memories with. This holiday can also cause stress as you try to find all the right presents for everyone.
A Christmas Redemption is a musical about the overlooked beauty and unfortunate pressure and stress of this season. It reveals the problems in households of different social, marital and financial statuses and the problems at this time. This musical takes a look into three homes: a rich, high classed one; a middle-class one; and a low, struggling one. All of these characters are unknowingly threaded by their stories in a beauty salon and barbershop. Through the duration of the play, these characters all seek and find some sort of redemption in some part of their life. They are all brought together to rediscover the beauty of the Christmas season.
I am excited and honoured to announce that I am a part of that cast. I will be playing Zoey, a new junior hair stylist at JoJo’s Beauty Salon. Zoey is a unique, quirky, outgoing and eccentric character. She is oblivious to many things and loves to ask questions. However, she means well and has a heart of gold. Zoey is a bit spacey at times, but she is always trying to please and have fun.
A Christmas Redemption opens on December 5th, 2010 at 10:30AM at Mississauga Secondary School. Admission is free, so seating is on a first come, first serve basis. However, this is one musical you would not want to miss. It is filled with poignant and heart-warming moments and laughter as the cast takes the audience on a Christmas rollercoaster ride filled with resonating songs and a cast of lively and exceptional characters and actors.
Other show times are on December 11th and 12th, both at 6:30PM and at the same location. Please come out to support and get a kick start on your holiday season. This is one Christmas experience you will never forget! You can quote me on that, but you’ll never know until you see it. Seriously, this is a musical that you cannot fully experience without actually being there, so make sure you don’t miss it. See you there!
