MBS Productions adds performances of A Bur-Less-Q Nutcracker

by Shawn Parikh

MBS Productions brought back The Beulaville Baptist Book Club Presents: A Bur-Less-Q Nutcracker this season, and it proves to be a success yet again. Performing to almost sold-out houses and huge advanced tickets sales, the company has decided to add a couple of more matinees on December 13 and December 20 at 2:30 p.m.

The women of the Beulaville Baptist Book Club are in dire straits financially, and as a last ditch attempt to save their book club they decide to do a fundraiser and hire the Beaumont Ballet to perform Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker”. Madge’s Piña Colada Casserole unfortunately sickens the entire cast with food poisoning and they are unable to perform. Luckily, there is another dance troop in town. It seems the Velvet Kittens Burlesque Dancers are stuck in Beulaville because their van broke down on their way to New Orleans. Madge has never heard of Burlesque, or as she pronounces it “Bur-less-Q”, and in an act of necessity hires the dance troupe to do “The Nutcracker”. The end result? The most original, unusual, and comical Nutcracker you have ever seen!

Pegasus Chief, Mike Orren, even says "I saw it too and it was an unqualified hoot. Highly recommend." The production runs through December 21 and you can purchase tickets online or by calling 214-477-4942.
