DIE HARD IS A CHRISTMAS MOVIE
Know Theatre of Cincinnati

By A.J. Baldwin and Alexx Rouse
Directed by Tatiana Godfrey

Christmas Eve, 1988. Mack’s literary star is on the rise but his marriage is on the rocks when he returns home to celebrate the holiday with his family. In an effort to reignite their parents’ romance, the teenage kids enact a plan to make Dad a hero again, but when late night intruders kidnap Mom, Mack and the kids embark on a Sweettart and adrenaline-fueled adventure to save their family.

A spoof-parody of the 1988 blockbuster hit “Die Hard,” this new holiday comedy brims with bombs, bad accents, and belly laughs that’ll have the whole family saying “Now I have a machine gun. Ho Ho Ho.”

A CHRISTMAS CAROL Runs Nov. 21-Dec. 28

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Nov. 21-Dec. 28
Rouse Theatre [Eden Park]

Directed by Bridget Leak

The holiday story you love unfolds in spectacular fashion in Moe and Jack’s Place – The Rouse Theatre! In Charles Dickens’ classic tale, Ebenezer Scrooge is a greedy curmudgeon who finds his heart changing when three spirits and the ghost of a long-lost friend show him the errors of his ways. Across one fateful Christmas Eve night, Scrooge recalls the warmth and generosity of past loved ones, learns the value of kindness through Tiny Tim and the Cratchit family and glimpses a terrifying future should his heart remain the same. Featuring dazzling set, costume and lighting designs, A Christmas Carol promises a magical holiday experience for your family. A CHRISTMAS CAROL is suitable for general audiences, including children ages 5 and older. However, some younger children could find a couple of the ghostly appearances a little scary. Due to the full-length nature of the show, children younger than 5 cannot be admitted.
