INVASION: CHRISTMAS CAROL to Have Industry Readings in November

Atlanta, Georgia based theater company, Dad’s Garage, in association with Inverness Productions, will present two private industry readings of their long-running hit holiday show, Invasion: Christmas Carol, this November in New York. Directed by Sean Daniels (The White Chip), the readings will take place at 11am and 3pm on Monday, November 3rd, at Open Jar Studios.

In Invasion: Christmas Carol, the award-winning Dad’s Garage ensemble skewers and twists the quintessential holiday play, A Christmas Carol, by combining scripted theatre and improv.

In addition to the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, Ebeneezer Scrooge and the rest of his Dickensian universe is visited by a new, wacky surprise character at the top of each performance that even the cast can’t predict. Every show, Scrooge’s story unfolds in new and unpredictable ways sure to make you laugh through the entire holiday season–and appreciate the spirit of the original story in a whole new light.

A cult-classic at Dad’s Garage, Invasion: Christmas Carol, has been playing to sold-out audiences during the holidays since 2008. This will be the first time the show is presented in New York.

The cast of Invasion: Christmas Carol will include Amber Nash (Archer), Tim Stoltenberg, Kevin Gillese, Freddy Boyd, Josh Quinn and Karen Cassady.
