By chance, Kris Kringle, an old man in a retirement home, gets a job working as Santa for Macy’s. Kris unleashes waves of good will with Macy’s customers and the commercial world of New York City by referring parents to other stores to find exactly the toy their child has asked for. Seen as deluded and dangerous by Macy’s vocational counselor, who plots to have Kris shanghaied to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing. Especially at stake is one little girl’s belief in Santa. In a dramatic decision, the court confirms Kris as the true Santa, allowing Susan and countless other children to experience the joy of childhood fantasy.

A 1940S RADIO CHRISTMAS CAROL Runs Dec. 8-10
A 1940S RADIO CHRISTMAS CAROL
Bound Book Theater Company
Dec. 8-10
Mt. Washington United Methodist Church
Directed by Judy Berrens
Music directed by Dennis Andrew Betz
Produced by Cheryl Boettger
Cast: Kent Smith as Clifton Feddington, Gary Hopkins as William St. Claire, Dan Nieman as Charles “Cholly” Butts, Neil Geoppinger as Fritz Canigliaro, Anthony Schaeffer as “Little” Jackie Sparks, Sarah Bizub as Judith Davenport, Shana Mccoy as Margie O’Brien, Laurel Ellis as Sally Simpson, Michael Gunter as Isadore “Buzz” Crenshaw, Dennis Andrew Betz as Toots Navarre, Kelly Geoppinger as Esther Lewis Pirnie & Eddie Zigmann as Harold J. Mullins
Chorus: Erin Zigmann, Terry Dean & Betty Coulter
It’s Christmas Eve, 1943, and the Feddington Players are now broadcasting from a hotel room in Newark, NJ, and set to present their contemporary “take” on Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Whether it’s the noisy plumbing, missed cues, electrical blackouts, or the over-the-top theatrics of veteran actor, but radio novice, William St. Claire, this radio show is an entertaining excursion into the mayhem and madness of a live radio show. St. Claire’s escalating foibles and acting missteps propel the show to a simultaneously comedic and heart-wrenching dramatic climax: St. Claire has an on-air breakdown, and begins to connect his own life with that of the classic Dickens tale. In order to “save the show,” the company improvises an ending to Charles Dickens’ classic as a film noir mystery, featuring a hardboiled detective, a femme fatale, and an absurd rescue of Tiny Tim (and the Lindbergh baby) from the clutches of a Hitler-esque villain named Rudolf. Includes dinner which is served one hour prior to curtain.

Pulitzer Prize-winner Donald Margulies weaves together nostalgia, music and merriment in this new seasonal classic. A holiday show for people of all ages and all faiths, CONEY ISLAND CHRISTMAS introduces us to Shirley Abramowitz, a young Jewish girl who (much to her immigrant parents’ exasperation) is cast as Jesus in the school’s Christmas pageant. As Shirley, now much older, recounts the memorable story to her great-granddaughter, the play captures a timeless and universal tale of what it means to be an American during the holidays.
