Invasion: Christmas Carol - Dad’s Garage Theatre gives the holiday classic a kick in the Dickens
By: Joseph Harrison Nov. 20, 2011
Replace your regular holiday tradition with a Dad's Garage tradition - kicking classic theatre in the tookus! Returning to the stage on Friday, Nov. 25th at 8pm (after three years of success) the award-winning Dad's Garage Ensemble will again be skewering the quintessential Christmas play - A Christmas Carol. You'll see your favorite characters acting in ways that might not be so familiar as our improvisers create a whole new holiday experience right before your very eyes. Every evening the audience will choose a new "invader" (who is complete surprise to the cast and can be anything from a big purple monster to Paula Deen) to infiltrate the world of Scrooge. It's up to the cast to keep the story on track, but because this year will be bursting with even more improv flavor than last year, things are guaranteed to get even nuttier than a Cornish game hen!
Bonus Fact: Most Cornish game hens tend to be more on the gamey side than the nutty side.
CAST: Rickey Boynton, Harriss Callahan, Karen Cassady, Veronika Duer, Eve Krueger, Megan Leahy, Ed Morgan, and Randy Havens as Scrooge!
