Picketwire’s Masked Singer: Christmas Edition
Directed by: Picketwire Board of Directors
Adapted from the popular TV show, Picketwire’s singing competition is back again, featuring local celebrities from around the valley and live audience voting. Previous Contestants included: Pikachu, Triceratops, Frog, Unicorn, Parrot, Bear, Potato Head, and the Dinosaurs.
The Picketwire Board of Directors will be producing the show, but performers choose their own songs, characters, and clues to share in their clue package. Picketwire’s Masked Singer features local celebrities singing songs while wearing head-to-toe costumes and face masks concealing their identities. Contestants will sing a song for panelists and the audience anonymously. Hints to their identities—known as the “clue package”—will be given before the show via social media and extra clues will be given during each performance. You will not want to miss this fun show of who sung it!
While we already have some great and surprising talent, do you know someone that you think would be great on Picketwire’s Masked Singer? Send us a private message via Facebook (Picketwire Players Community Theatre), email (info@picketwireplayers.org), or contact us online.

Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the midwest in the 1940s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher and even Santa Claus himself, at Higbee’s Department Store. The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!” All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg in a net stocking; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more. A Christmas Story is destined to become a theatrical holiday perennial.
