Town Talk: SHPHC Announces ‘For Unto Y’all’ Christmas Production – 07/18/19
100.1 FM / 1450 AM WIZS; Local News broadcasts M-F 8am, 12pm, 5pm
The holidays may still be months away, but for Pastor Rhonda Pulley and South Henderson Pentecostal Holiness Church, now is the time to prepare for the 12th annual Christmas Dinner Theatre.
This year’s production is titled “For Unto Y’all,” and is a retelling of the traditional Christmas story set to a Western theme.
“We’re going to use our imaginations to wonder what if Jesus was born not quite so long ago and not quite so far away in the Old West,” explained Pulley. “We’re not changing the biblical story, just changing the setting in a fun and imaginative way.”
With past Christmas productions being sold-out events, Pulley said the church included six performance dates for this year’s show. Performance dates and times include November 30, 6 p.m.; December 1, 6 p.m.; December 5, 6:30 p.m.; December 6, 6:30 p.m.; December 7, 6 p.m.; December 8, 6 p.m.
In addition to the performance, guests will enjoy a dinner consisting of prime rib, baked potato, garden salad, dinner roll, dessert and beverage – all prepared by church members. Cost per person for dinner and show is $30.
“The prime rib alone is worth the cost; it’s the best,” Pulley said.
To reserve your tickets to what is expected to be another sold-out season, please call the church office at (252) 438-3322.
The church is located at 905 Americal Road in Henderson.
