Plaid Tidings
Book by Stuart Ross with Lyrics and Music by Various Artists
Holidays Go Plaid at the Athens Theatre
In the historic Athens Theatre’s safely sanitized but cozy surroundings, nestle your family into an intimate little group to take in this year’s festive holiday offering at the Athens: Stuart Ross’s musical silliness, Plaid Tidings.
Inspired by the “heavenly” Rosemary Clooney, familiar goofily comic characters from Forever Plaid return to earth and transform today’s dissonance and discord into mellifluous harmonies—sounds and songs appropriate to a season of brotherhood and joy.
Chortle and hum along to their version of an Ed Sullivan variety show featuring The Chipmunks, The Vienna Boy’s Choir, and The Rockettes—all of it “Plaid” style–as we are entertained by amusingly altered favorites highlighted by “White Christmas,” “The Carol of the Belles,” “Twas the Nite B4,” “I’ll be Home for Christmas,” and a hilarious calypso tune with “in excelsis da-a-ay-o” serving as a refrain.
This is a show for holiday theater goers of all ages.

IMPORTANT: Tickets for ELF will be recognized as tickets for PLAID TIDINGS
We apologize for the change in our season schedule. Our previously scheduled production, Elf the Musical ,is a large show with a cast of around 30, while Plaid Tidings calls for a four-person cast. We at the Athens have made safety our paramount concern during the pandemic while also strive to bring quality theatre into our community.
If you DO NOT wish to attend Plaid Tidings, and had purchased tickets to see Elf, please send an email to our Director of Operations (found in the staff directory).
2 hours & 20 minutes (plus a 15-minute intermission)
