5 Shorts with Shortcake, Before Thanksgiving
SBINSIDER ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER NOEL COWARD| November 9th, 2025
The Community Circle Players (CCP) have decided to add a Fall program to delight and entertain the SaddleBrooke audience. Generally, CCP shows have been presented in the March time frame, allowing time to the myriad of talented performers to return back from cruise trips, summer homes in a cooler climes or visiting grandkids in far-flung locations for hours of arduous rehearsal.
But this year, the CCP brain trust has decided to overthrow the conventional process and light up the the stage with a series of one-act plays with many of your favorite actors plying their wiles. The planning began last spring before the acting pool left for more moderate environments.
November Performances before Thanksgiving!
Presaging Thanksgiving squabbles and a undoubtedly glorious repast in the antecedent week, the CCP players will be ready to perform. Set for 4 nights, the show will be produced Wednesday, November 19, through Saturday, November 22.
A new twist is on Saturday the 22nd, there will be a 2PM matinee performance followed by a night show.
The dessert-only evening, or dessert-only matinee performances promise to be fun, full of intrigue, be thought-provoking and provide lots of laughs!
Tickets can be had at the HOA2 office or online by clicking this link!
(If you browse to the DVPAC.NET you have to search a bit by using the calendar.)
Spring performance by CCP is also in the planning stages and SBINSIDER will alert you.
