Rudolph is just your average reindeer in training, waiting for the day he can join Santa’s sleigh and bring joy to the world. Things go from exciting to bad as a certain beacon of light emitting from his nose appears and threatens to toss out his dreams of joining the jolly elf’s band of flying reindeer.  Meanwhile across town a crotchety old Grinch of a man named Ebeneezer, who is devastated by Christmases past, plans to eliminate the holiday forever by any means possible! Follow your favorite Christmas characters like Rudolph, Scrooge, Frosty, and the big man himself in this mashup of Holiday stories we all know and love. Learn their true story, and rediscover the beauty and love behind this most wonderful time of the year! Includes meal from Main Street Gardens. This show contains loud noises, fog, and strobing lights.

mcp_inspecting-carol-logoINSPECTING CAROL
Mason Community Players
Dec. 9-17
Theatre 42 [Lebanon]

Cast: Mary Beth Benken-Riesenberg as Zorah Block, Ray Lebowski as Sidney Carlton, Gail Rudolph as Dorothy Tree Hapgood, Joel Lind as Larry Vauxhall, Lawrence Catlin as Phil Hewitt, Jordan Arnold as Walter E. Parsons, Grant Turner as Luther Beatty, Erin Marie Schwartz as Karen Emery, Trish Cooper as M. J. (Mary Jane) McMann, Becca McLaughlin as Betty Andrews, Ryan Drake as Bart Frances & Justin Sanford as Wayne Wellacre

The Soapbox Playhouse needs all the help it can get putting on its annual production of A Christmas Carol. They have lost half their season subscribers, their NEA funding has been denied pending an inspection, and they only have four days to rehearse before opening night. Scrooge wants to rewrite the script to have social relevance while Walter, who is new, just wants to learn his lines. Karen, the business manager, can’t run the computer and turns to Tiny Tim, who is not so tiny, for help. Cratchit has a bad back, Mrs. Cratchit has an injured foot, and director Zorah Bloch just wants to save her theatre. Enter wannabee actor Wayne Wellacre on a journey to find “his bliss,” and chaos ensues. This adult-themed Christmas play will have you rolling in the aisle as everything that can go wrong does go wrong.
