- Quotes
Didi Snavely: This is Didi Snavely for Didi's used weapons. Heaven forbid during this joyous season that you should be the victim of a holiday robbery. But wouldn't you rather shoot somebody than watch'em run off with your new toaster oven? I know I would. Didi's Used Weapons has weapons for the car, the home, and the workplace. At Didi's Used Weapons you'll have a Holly Jolly Christmas, and the criminal will have a Silent Night!

Featured review
Someone for Everybody
Anyone from Texas, the South, or any other part of the world where quirky family members, friends, or neighbors exist will find SOMEONE among these characters to love.
The story lampoons so much southern cultural lore that it has to be watched more than once to catch all the little witty asides. Mr. Williams and Mr. Sears do poke fun of their characters, but in a loving way that shows no malice for the real people behind them.
Racism, bigotry, religious zealotry, and class struggle are all fodder for the talented and agile pair of actors who seamlessly flow from character to character with costume changes that are so fast, we hardly notice when one character steps off and a new one enters.
Each of these characters (I counted at least 15) is distinctively rendered in a true comedy Tour de Force.
I defy anyone to watch this great Christmas play and not see someone they know on the stage.
