The Jollity theater mascot saves Christmas play
Amid recession at the Jollity theater, Billy Freelance revives fortunes by casting seven year old Kitty Sullivan in a lead emotional scene in The Giant's Causeway. Her soaring performance on opening night wins standing ovations, cements relief for owners Hustle and Hardup, and earns Kitty the arena’s gratitude and the title mascot of the house.
