Wednesday, December 18th- December Day Long Trip: “A Christmas Cactus” Newport Playhouse & Cabaret Theater, Newport, RI

This trip is open to any adult, 18 years old and older.  This trip is Minimal walking.

Start with a delicious buffet luncheon with all foods prepared on the premises.

Following lunch enjoy the hilarious Matinee performance of A Christmas Cactus!

Christmas Eve is tough for private investigator Cactus O’Riley, a white hot redhead with the holiday blues. She doesn’t need the added aggravation of two fugitives who burst into her office looking for justice and a dead detective named Jake Marley.  Christmas turns into a dickens of a holiday for Cactus as she solves mysteries, delivers small miracles and takes a second chance on love and sleuthing.  Comedy, mystery, and romance converge in this charming contemporary Christmas tale where goodwill and justice triumph!

Following the Matinee, return to your seat in the dining room for a holiday themed Cabaret Show!

COST: $75 per person includes roundtrip motorcoach, fabulous buffet lunch, matinee performance of “A Christmas Cactus”, and cabaret show.  Driver tip is not included.
