KEARNEY — The Kearney Community Theatre is currently performing “Sorry! Wrong Chimney!” this holiday season.
“Newlywed David Tuttle has secretly been moonlighting as a department store Santa so that he can buy his wife a fantastic, expensive gift. He tells her he’s working late at the office – but she suspects his late nights are an excuse to sneak out to have an affair,” the Kearney Community Theater (KCT) states.
“She tries to get her psychiatrist neighbor to hypnotize him and reveal his secret. The suspected other woman, some wacky neighbors, a slightly off-balance Santa burglar and his tough gun-toting fiancée, and a hypnotized policeman (who thinks he’s an exotic dancer) add up to a rollicking lighthearted tale of Christmas cheer,” states KCT.
The show is suitable for mature audiences.
Remaining performances include Dec. 9, Dec. 14-16 at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays, Dec. 10 and 17 at 2:30 p.m.
The KCT highlighted several of the cast members:
