BCT_The 12 Daze of XmasTHE TWELVE DAZE OF CHRISTMAS
Presented by Beavercreek Community Theatre
Dec. 5-14
Beavercreek

It’s Christmas-time and all Alice wants to do is just sing one of her favorite holiday songs, ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas.’ But after just a few words, Alice realizes that when she sings, the characters in the popular holiday tune begin to come to life. Alice’s boyfriend has decided to surprise her by sending her all of the twelve gifts mentioned in the traditional carol. With each verse, Alice unleashes a wacky stream of characters that are far from what most people envision when singing ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas.’ From Turtle & Dove, two attorneys that try to convince Alice to sue Santa Claus for invasion of privacy to milkmaids who have created a union and are on strike because of poor working conditions, the play turns the traditional holiday song into a fast-paced zany collection of characters.
