Synopsis

The play begins as an actor begins a performance of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and is joined by two castmates who refuse to join in as they have performed A Christmas Carol too many times in their career already.

They rebel and decide to present every Christmas story ever told instead.

Over 90 minutes, these three comedic actors portray as many holiday stories and characters as they can remember.

Using wild costumes, special effects and their comedy skills, they take a ride through well-known classics, from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas to Frosty the Snowman – and so much more.

Press Reviews

"The play accomplishes the small miracle of making all Christmas myths seem both utterly ridiculous and absolutely essential."

— Orlando Weekly

"A hilarious send-up of, well, every Christmas story ever told... This is a highly recommended alternative to cut-and-dry Christmas offerings."

— NUVO Indianapolis Arts and Entertainment

"If you want to view a holiday production, Every Christmas Story Ever Told provides a timely take on Christmas and pop culture with consistent laughs. It’s an evening well spent."

— KUJH-TV (Kansas)
