The directing of both cast and music is great. I walked away with the image, Holiday music, and feeling of the 50's. The songs, the commercials, were presented very well by the cast. What I walked away with is just what I wrote . . . an image, Holiday music, and feeling of the 50's.
I think I need to buy me some Brylcream . . .
"Sorry dear, you coffee just is not as good as at the office."
"Try freeze dried coffee!" I remember that being advertised in the 60's, to replace the regular coffee made at home.
Pepsi in a bottle. Those were the days. Amazing how the container can change the taste. I still prefer the old glass bottles.
As a child I loved Suzy Snowflake. This scene brought those memories back . . .
As a child I also remember all of the electric shaver commercials during the Holidays. Seemed like as a child that was what I wanted to get Dad for Christmas, because that would make both Mom and Dad happy. Amazing how marketing worked back then. Marketing is still in force today, but I think, without the simplicity and class of yesteryear.
Thought I would show a quick picture of Jeff Casey at work . . .
Oh, another quick photo of Kevin Bellamy shaking the presents . . . he still does not know what is in them.
A special thanks to this seasons sponsor, Accucraft Imaging, Inc. You know, seeing this season, and last season for the first time at Towle, it makes me want to be a sponsor . . .

This is an annual event at the Towle Theater. I was there last year, and wondered what would be different this year. It was all different. It was a calming, rejoiceful, a funny (to me) commercialized musical. Thank you Towle Theater!
Though the photos do tell a story, I do not believe they are spoilers. You have to be there to listen to the music and commercials of the times. My photos do not do that justice.
I remember my mom's family getting together when I was young, just like these photos, dressed for the Holidays. All of us gathered around the piano and sang, or at least the adults sang. Us children just played.
