ABILENE, DECEMBER 2 – Get ready to tap your toes to Great Plains Theatre’s holiday musical extravaganza; G.I. Holiday Jukebox. Step into the theatre and be transported back to a 1940’s USO show that is sure to delight audiences of all ages, enlisted or not! The season closer for 2016 is a fun winter romp through the Christmas hits of yesteryear, with a little patriotic flair. The show runs from December 9 to December 18 with play times in the evening and afternoon. Tickets are $27 per seat with special rates available for groups.

At each performance, a donation box will be available in the lobby. All donations will be given to VFW Post 3279, our local VFW, to help Veterans in times of need.

USO shows were, and continue to be, goodwill performances to bring cheer to soldiers fighting away from home, especially during the holidays. Great Plains Theatre is proud to put on a show that honors those who have served during the time of year we dearly miss those still serving. Tom Lancaster, T.J. Besler, Sarah Philabaum, and Katja Seasholtz beautifully portray the shifting depths of emotion that these USO shows carried.

Bring your family in out of the cold and warm up to the Christmas songs you know and love, and maybe learn some new tunes! Seats are moving quickly so be sure to reserve your spot right away! Tickets are available at the box office at 401 Cottage Ave, via phone at 785-263-4574, or online at greatplainstheatre.com
