ACTS rings in the holiday season this weekend with its presentation of “Plaid Tidings,” a Christmas-themed homage to the vocal acts of the 1950s and 60s.

“Plaid Tidings” is a followup to “Forever Plaid,” centered upon a foursome singing act on the cusp of stardom when their careers — and their lives — are cut short when their car collides with a bus full of schoolgirls on their way to see the Beatles perform on the “Ed Sullivan Show.”

The show features ACTS regular Tom Rhys-Roberts, along with Thomas Morelli, Harmon Andrews and Dakota Smith, backed up by a three-piece band consisting of Jan Crews on piano, Stephen Ley on percussion and Devin Zenjav on bass. Ron Sinesio is directing.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with a 2:30 p.m. matinee Sunday. Tickets are $25 for general admission, $20 for students.

To purchase tickets, call 724-815-4388, or check out ACTS’ new website, actspac.org.
