Information from Burien Actors Theater

Burien Actor’s Theatre serves up a modern comedic alternative to traditional holiday shows with The Twelve Dates of Christmas, from Nov. 24 through Dec. 17.

In The Twelve Dates of Christmas, Mary’s engagement falls apart—just in time for the holidays. When her foray into a year of hilarious and strange dates threatens to get her down for good, can the earnestness of youth give her a fresh outlook on life and love? A solo actor portrays all of the characters in this hilarious and heartwarming holiday show. The show contains some mature language and sexual references.

Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. in the Theater at Kennedy Catholic High School, 140 S. 140th St., Burien, WA 98168.

There is plenty of free parking onsite. Masks are required, and will be provided by BAT if you don’t have one.
