Opening This Week: Christmas Queens

South City Theatre is excited to present Alicia Lane Dutton’s Christmas Queens for five performances, December 12 – 20, 2025. This year, the Catoosa County Christmas Queen Pageant, sponsored by a local catfish farmer, will invite former winners to compete in a special reunion pageant. Louise, owner of The Limelight Theater, isn’t thrilled with the idea but needs the sponsorship money. The former beauty queens range in age from 18 to Belva’s not telling. Unfortunately, someone is sabotaging the competition. Is it the oldest queen? The soap opera star? The pregnant competitor, or any of the other women competing for the prize money?

Written by Alabama native and UA graduate, Alicia Lane Dutton. This production is directed by Donna Williamson and stars Kathy Scruggs, Michael Wilbanks, Natali Jimenez, Katherine Simmons, Sally Montgomery, Lisa Nelson, Emily Wolfe, Max Berrios, and Valerie Brock.

Tickets are available at southcitytheatre.com or by calling (205) 621-2128. Advance ticket prices are $20 general admission, $17 for students and seniors, $14 for groups of 10 or more. At the door price is $22.
