For the past several years, the Jackson County Players have performed their annual Christmas show with all proceeds going to support a local charity such as Savannah’s Closet, Ripley Rotary, and The Jackson County Animal Shelter.
This year, with the COVID-19 health crisis restrictions, the Players can not perform live. As with many organizations, the group had to think of another way to showcase area talent.
The result is a filmed virtual production of the drama, “The Gift,” by Virginia De Wyze.
“We were determined not to give up,” director of “The Gift” Doug Torres said. “The only bad thing is that we have struggled to find a way to raise funds for a nonprofit, so we decided to make this our ‘gift’ to the community.”
