The next Indian Valley Theatre production “The Rented Christmas” opens on Friday, December 9th at 7:30pm; with other performances on Saturday, December 10th at 7:30pm and Sunday, December 11th at 2pm at the historic Sandwich Opera House, 140 E. Railroad St. in Sandwich.
John Dale hasn’t enjoyed a ’real Christmas’ for years. So, on the spur of the moment, he decides to ’rent’ a Christmas from Anne Weston, who owns the local rent shop. Anne is at first flustered with the requirements: a tree with presents, Christmas Carolers and a wife and children. Anne feels she has solved the problem of a Christmas family by calling the actors’ guild. But the young actors come down with the measles so she turns to the local orphanage. When the guild can’t locate a ’mother,’ Anne steps in to play the role herself. Based on the short story by J. Lillian Vandervere, the story of how John Dale’s rented Christmas turns into a new life for all concerned makes this a warm story for the holiday season.
