Plan your Holiday Date Night at Strauss!

Sanders Family Christmas Dinner Theatre at Strauss is the perfect holiday date night for the season. You can’t beat live theatre at Strauss and the cast of SFC hits the mark. Great Christmas music from a show that has as much heart as it has comedy. All worth the price of admission. Add to that catering from Gator Girls (2019 Best of the Delta Winner) and adult beverages…. it’s the best deal around town!

Seating is limited so grab ’em while you can. Call Donna at 318-323-6681 or order ONLINE. Don’t miss Sanders Family Christmas.

Sanders Family Christmas provides the holiday laughs

The Sanders family members sing and share stories throughout, including a rollicking tale about misbehaving elves in Santa’s service as told by Mother Sanders (Kelly Flores). She also has a particularly funny encounter with a tipsy old Christmas tree. But the real scene stealer isn’t a singing Sanders: June Sanders (Nicole Goode) provides interpretive sign language translations of all the songs (even though there are no hearing-impaired people in the congregation.) Her gesticulations and physical comedy create gales of laughter during almost every song.

Sanders Family Christmas

The cast of Smoke of the Mountain brings forth a funny, down-home, blue-grass Christmas Dinner Theatre show – “Sanders Family Christmas

The show (under the direction of Bob Chambless) is a tapestry of classics like “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,” “Angels We Have Heard on High,” “Away In A Manger” and many other Christmas staples. And you can bet there’s plenty of humor with the pastor and the Sanders Family.

Sanders Family Christmas will be presented on December 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th. This is sure to be a sell out. Grab your tickets while you can. Call Donna today at 318-323-6681 and purchase tickets or you can buy online at this LINK.

Will Holmes solve the baffling case before, Henry Baskerville, the next male heir who arrives from Texas, is also murdered?

As the nation is torn apart by civil war, Jo and her sisters struggle with what it means to grow up.
