A Dickens’ Christmas Carol: A Traveling Travesty in Two Tumultous Acts
By Mark Landon Smith


From the author of Faith County and Faith County II comes the funniest Christmas Carol ever. The Styckes-Upon-Thump Repertory Company embarks on their fifteenth annual tour of the Dickens classic. When the company's diva feigns illness, certain the production will be canceled, this merry troupe of over the hill and upstart actors carry on without her. Roles are shuffled and the sweet understudy suddenly finds herself on stage knowing only one line of dialogue. She has written her part in and on almost everything, including the Christmas pudding! Midway through the doomed performance, the diva rushes in to reclaim her role. Total mayhem ensues as the company scrambles to keep the show going while everything goes hilariously wrong.

(Family friendly!)

Norm Foster (Canadian playwright - frequently likened to Neil Simon) has a few very funny Christmas plays. Check out his website. They'll send you an email with free PDF version of any play if you ask. You can't print, or copy it, but at least you can read it and decide if you like it. Norm's plays are done all over North America. http://normfoster.com/synopsis.html

Midwest community theater - we sold out every night with the play FRUITCAKES.

We haven't done it but there's one called Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!) that a lot of people have done well with.

It calls for three actors but I believe it's a very flexible script.

We just did the play "Sorry Wrong Chimney".  This is the 3rd time in the last 24 years we've done it. Its by Jack Sharkey and Leo W. Sears.  Cast is 4 males and 3 Females. Audience really enjoys it.  Funniest part is the striptease.
