Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

The Mischief company, known for The Play That Goes Wrong, tackles the most famous holiday story of all. A determined theater troupe tries to stage A Christmas Carol while scenery collapses, effects misfire and the cast scrambles to keep going.

The result is slapstick comedy layered on top of a familiar tale, which makes it a great holiday outing with older kids who enjoy physical humor. The run spans the whole school break, from mid-December into the second week of January.

The show runs about 2 hours and 20 minutes, including one intermission.
