Martin W. Prevost proudly presents DREAMING OF A DARK CHRISTMAS for its World Premiere Production. DREAMING OF A DARK CHRISTMAS tells the story of The Murphys, a typical family that are gathering together for Christmas. The family deals with your typical problems: sibling rivalries, the daughter in-law, the unannounced romantic partner showing up for the holidays and the traditions of the family. And some not so typical problems like is there a cult in the neighborhood and are they trying to summon a Demon on Christmas Eve and is there more behind the urban legends of the holiday. You’ll laugh and love as the Murphy’s deal with their family and what’s happening outside their door. And maybe learn a new Christmas tradition by the end.
