Christmas at the Cricket County Cafe


A one-act hillbilly comedy with heart
By Eddie McPherson

Age Level:All Ages
Cast: 5M, 5W
Time: 45 minutes
 

Granny Taylor is fixin' to cook up a storm at her famous Christmas supper, and she asks the snooty City Cousins to help. Though such manual labor is clearly beneath them, the only reason they agree is to hear the amendment to rich Uncle Zeke's will read after the last customer leaves. Dodging grouchy Granny's verbal bullets, they bust their britches to get their work done, because money talks -- with a Southern twang! But there's more brewing at the Café than just the coffee. Country Cousin Fester turning into a cool dude? Brenda Mae a wanna-be Beauty Queen? And what’s with Oswald buttering up his boss faster than Granny's homemade biscuits? Uncle Zeke’s will reading stops everyone in their tracks. There's a major attitude shift in the Café as all recognize the folly of their selfish ways and focus on the birth of the baby Jesus. Warm-hearted and inspirational, but still a hoot!

First Church’s homegrown hypocrites, haughty Mrs. Tishwater and her spoiled daughter Tisha, can’t believe that simple backwoods couple Virgil and Margaret are part of “their” posh and privileged congregation this Christmas. When Mrs. Tishwater’s shrill-singing diva sister agrees to present a Christmas concert at First Church, the Tishwaters panic at the thought of Virgil and Margaret tainting the refined atmosphere. They go to great lengths to keep them away, but when Rev. Davis catches wind of their scheme, he devises his own plan to bring about peace on earth ... or at least at First Church. A heapin’ helpin’ of hillbilly fun, with sight gags, comic misunderstandings, “profound ponderins” and a cultural divide bigger’n the Grand Canyon. See who has the last laugh!
