This madcap Holiday comedy centers around a floundering professional theatre company rehearsing for its 13th production of its annual cash cow, “A Christmas Carol”. Before approving an annual grant, a National Endowment for the Arts inspector is sent to investigate. Add to the mix an aspiring actor who shows up to audition and is mistaken for the inspector. Hilarity reigns! “A razzle dazzle of funny characters and ingenious jokes.” The Seattle Post Intelligencer.
