The STORY:
A Christmas Carol, a Ghost Story of Christmas, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843. Dickens toured the US in the 1860s performing a one man telling of A Christmas Carol.
Back by popular demand .... Scrooge, Tiny Tim, the trio of Christmas ghosts, and the story of what happens when a bitter old man is given one last chance at redemption, are as well-known as any of Dickens’ characters. They’ve been portrayed in films and on TV around the world and now you can meet them all, live on stage in Spotlighters’ captivating, one-man adaptation.
Using only Dickens’ inimitable language, Phil Gallagher’s performance will thrill and chill audiences of all ages. With minimal props and costume, Gallagher portrays all these much-loved characters and breathes new life into a story that is as moving, relevant, and redemptive as it was when first written over 170 years ago.

The STORY: A summer theater plans a season far too ambitious for its capabilities - Dracula, Hamlet, and Charley's Aunt in rep - and farce ensues.
Tempers run high as the director and actors clash with the technical crew, and the audience is treated to a disaster of an opening night. Somehow, they manage to pull things together and impress their potential donors enough to secure funding to keep the theater open another year.
Comic rehearsal and production scenes are interspersed with poignant conversations between the veteran company members, and by the end it's clear why despite all the chaos, the rookies decide to stick around next summer.
