Readers Theatre Plus (RT+) is presenting “The Christmas Bench,” by Larry Larson and Eddie Levi Horton, and directed by Janice Parks.

There will be six performances of this show at Sequim’s Guy Cole Center in Carrie Blake Park, Nov. 6-8 and Nov. 13-15 (see below for showtimes).

All proceeds from the production go to the Sequim City Band.

Two men, one older, one younger, sit on a bench during the Christmas shopping season, waiting for their wives. As they get to know each other, Christmas “happens” around them: The mall players present a five-minute version of “A Christmas Carol”; a homeless man tells a bizarre tale, then sings “O Holy Night”; a Jewish woman who is a greeter at the department store recites a portion of “A Child’s Chanukka in Pittsburgh,” and one of the men turns out to be not quite who we think he is.

Showtimes for “The Christmas Bench”:

• Friday, Nov. 6 – 7 p.m.

• Saturday Nov. 7 – 7 p.m.

• Sunday, Nov. 8 – 2:30 p.m.

• Friday, Nov. 13 – 7 p.m.
