Every Christmas Story Ever Told - And Then Some!
by Wimberley Players
Sep. 26 - Sep. 27 (2022)
Setting is a theatre, and the time is now. Three actors set out to perform Dickens' holiday classic for the umpteenth time but decide to create a "one-with-everything" Christmas story. They dish up a hilarious melee of Christmas stories, traditions, carols, and icons from ancient times to contemporary pop culture. It's a delicious, madcap romp through the holiday season! Improv and audience interaction is part of the fun.
