EVERY CHRISTMAS STORY TOLD (AND THEN SOME!)
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
Dec. 16-27
Downtown

Cast: Billy Chance, Sara Clark, Justin McCombs & Miranda McGee

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, CSC’s holiday smash hit EVERY CHRISTMAS STORY TOLD (AND THEN SOME!) is back! What begins as another annual production of A Christmas Carol, soon devolves into a slightly irreverent look at all of our favorite “Beloved Holiday Classics” including It’s a Wonderful Life, Frosty, Rudolph, Charlie Brown and more! Three actors (with the help of Santa) send up everything from Dickens to Dr. Seuss in 90 minutes of high octane jollity and frivolity. This show will be appreciated by adults and older teens, but is not recommended for anyone young enough to still believe in Santa

This classic holiday show is LIVE ON STAGE and back by popular demand due to last year’s sold out performances. First shown as an animated television special based on Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts characters in 1965, this faithful stage adaptation features Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the gang as they grapple with the meaning of Christmas. With colorful costumes and scenery, this 40-minute production is quickly becoming a family holiday tradition and offers a perfect introduction for young children to LIVE theatre.

MISC_Lakeview UCC logo2A 1940S RADIO CHRISTMAS CAROL
LUCC Productions
Dec. 11-19
Lakeview UCC [Maineville]

Cast: Christopher Ball, Falecia Frederick, Erich Geoppinger, Lara Gonzalez, Clare Hingsbergen, Zachary Julian, Jennifer Martin, Patrick Nieman, John Rothan, Karen Sence, Siobhan Slone & Kelsey Tchamkoriyski
Special appearances by: Nicole Bucalo, Deb Rufner, Betty Schorry & Robert Schorry

It’s Christmas Eve, 1943.The Feddington Players are in a tiny studio in Newark, New Jersey, broadcasting their take on ‘A Christmas Carol’. With noisy plumbing, electrical blackouts and over the top theatricals of a veteran actor, the play hilariously exploits the mayhem of live radio. To “save the show”, the company improvise the ending as a film noir mystery, featuring a hardboiled detective, a femme fatale, and an absurd rescue of Tiny Tim.
