SEASON 13

Christmas just isn't complete without Ebenezer Scrooge and a rousing performance of A CHRISTMAS CAROL. And so it is in this happy send-up of all things Christmas and community theater. Despite excellent high-end sound effects and an old-time radio feel, the thirteenth season of the fictitious Majestic Theatre isn't going so well. They have a new stage manager who is falling for the assistant stage manager, a grouchy receptionist, a sabotaged script, a washed-up leading man, and a balcony full of ghosts. Will love or chaos prevail? The multitalented Mark Redfield wrote, directed, and performs in this gentle satire of the Charles Dickens classic, but, as always, it's Tiny Tim, played by a rambunctiously hilarious Olivia McMahon, who steals the show.
