Synopsis

Characters: 6 male, 4 female Unit Set What if the three wise men weren't really all that wise?

What if they were just three ordinary guys, avoiding conflicts at home, who happened upon the greatest story ever told?

Now add music, set the entire story in modern day America, sprinkle in a little redneck humor, and you have the smash A Good Old Fashioned Redneck Country Christmas: The Musical Bill, Dave, and Jimmy have had it with their women Even though it's Christmas Eve, and tradition dictates they should be home, drinking hot cocoa and singing carols, the boys decide to high-tail it into the mountains for a little hunting and a lot of beer.

This protest does nothing to improve the mood of the women back in town.

Lou runs Lou's Diner.

She and Bill and have been trying (unsuccessfully) to have a baby.

Barbie Jo, Lou's head waitress, is married to Dave, and they have kids, but Dave's not interested in family this year.

Darlene, the most beautiful girl in three counties is dating Jimmy, but while she's ready to settle down, Jimmy can't stand the idea of "committment."

It's gonna take a Christmas miracle to get these redneck families back together Thank God one just came to town

Press Reviews

"At Connecticut Cabaret Theatre, Bauske’s glimpse of redneck life is given the full-tilt treatment facilitated by an awful lot of laughs, gags, double takes, spins and stretches that keep the two-act comedy afloat from start to finish.Outrageous.Atmospheric.Bang-Out Silly.Irrepressible.Bonkers.Mind-Blowing.A Good Old Fashioned Redneck Country Christmas plies its audience with such infinitely fluid merriment, it's impossible not to succumb to its welcoming comic flourish and accompaniment, its wild sense of communal spirit and its mad-dash unraveling chaos. If you’re looking for a night out, look no further than the comfy and cozy environs of Connecticut Cabaret Theatre. This is one comedy you won’t want to miss."
