Join the cast of our riotously funny Christmas comedy about a chaotic amateur theatre company staging a production of 'A Christmas Carol'.

Expect collapsing professionalism, awkward improvisation, ghostly confusion, dramatic overacting, botched scene changes, rogue sound effects, and some of the most hilariously uncomfortable Christmas moments imaginable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis production is for teen performers ages 12-19.
