Y’all, the Angels Are Flying Sideways – Christmas Belles Cast Spill the Sweet Tea
The latest episode of No Small Parts is here, and it’s serving up a heaping helping of holiday hilarity straight from the rehearsal room of Bucyrus Little Theatre’s Christmas Belles, sponsored by Firelands Federal Credit Union, Lulu's Kitchen, and The Ohio Flower Girls!
Host Scott Leon Smith couldn’t stop giggling as director Abbey Kanellakis introduced us to the wild world of Fayro, Texas, where the annual Christmas program has been run the exact same way for ... 27 years. That is, until Honey Ray Futrelle and her sisters decide it’s time for a glow-up. Spoiler: everything that can go wrong absolutely does, and it’s glorious.

On this episode of No Small Parts, the Bucyrus Little Theatre podcast, we meet:
Debbi Gifford as Geneva, the longtime pageant queen who is NOT happy about flying angels
Julie Pollock (Abbey’s real-life mom!) as Patsy Price, the snobby socialite ready for her close-up
Shadow Pollock (Abbey’s brother and total rookie) as lovestruck interim pastor Justin Waverly
And a very special little red wagon wrangler that might just steal the whole show.

The cast dishes on first-time nerves, pulling character inspiration from real small-town legends and family and friends, and why community theatre feels like coming home, even when you’re pretending to burn down a trailer park.
Plus, Abbey reveals all the exciting details about this year’s Christmas Basket Silent Auction, now online and bigger than ever! Local businesses continue to donate incredible items, and every winning bid helps keep live theatre alive in Bucyrus (with matching funds up to $1,500 — thank you, Modern Woodmen of America for matching funds and thank you, Castle Auctions & Appraisals for managing the auction!
