SALADO – An ensemble cast of Spur-radicals will take audiences back to the "Golden Age of Television" this Yule season with a sleigh-full of holiday hilarity in "Do You See What I See?" at the Salado Silver Spur Theater at 108 Royal St.

"Theater patrons are right in the studio audience for the music, the merriment and the memorable, mirthful staging of an 'on-the-air' variety show," said Spur Executive Director Grainger Esch, co-founder of the theater. "Our seasonal scenario was conceived, written and performed by a cast of veteran performers, continuing the Spur's tradition of homespun, heartfelt, original family entertainment."

On Christmas Eve at the small broadcast facilities of WSPR-TV, the production crew and maintenance staff are busily preparing for a live holiday simulcast with network affiliates in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Unexpected technical difficulties place the show's success squarely on their shoulders, tasking them to present an excerpt from "The Nutcracker," as well as the Canadian Brass performance.

Frivolity ensues as they try to save the day and discover their own hidden talents that will bring holiday cheer for the audience and viewers.

"The holidays are typically filled with planning, pandemonium and presents," Esch said. "Every member of the family should consider taking a break from the decorating, cooking, shopping, wrapping, endless football games and greeting cards and treat themselves to hearty laughter and the enjoyment of live entertainment.

The play finishes its run with performances at 7:30 p.m. today and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Evening shows are $15 for adults; $12 for senior citizens, military personnel and students with ID; and $8 for children 12 and younger. For matinees, admission is $12, $10 and $8, respectively. Group rates are available.

For reservations, call the Silver Spur box office at (254) 947-3456.
