No.11 Productions Presents Interactive A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Catch No.11 Productions' annual holiday tradition, A Bit of a Party, on December 10th, 2018 in the Great Room at South Oxford Space at 7:30pm.

A Bit of a Party is an immersive theatrical event devised by No.11 Productions. A festive holiday party with live music, food and drink is haunted by the ghost of Charles Dickens and transforms into an interactive retelling of A Christmas Carol. Ryan Emmons (Miss Saigon, Groundhog Day, Matilda, Ghost) directs with music direction by Enrico de Trizio (Dear Evan Hanson, Mamma Mia). Forest VanDyke* (NYMF's Cadaver Synod) returns as Scrooge, joined by a company of No.11 actors: Steven Conroy* (AMC's Turn), Julie Congress (The Public Theater), Sam Parrott (Gallery Players A Few Good Men), Alison Novelli* and Giselle Chatelain.

Inspired by the idea of family and friends singing Christmas carols around a piano, nearly two dozen smaller roles are offered to audience volunteers. Participation is fully optional, but the result is a group of people in a room who come out on the other side, glass of punch in hand, having shared in the communal act of storytelling through Dickens' masterpiece. Where else can you live out Dickens' idea of Christmas and dance a traditional Victorian line dance?

Founded in 2008 and comprised of 11 multidisciplinary artists, No.11 Productions exists to collaboratively create, develop and tour new works and original adaptations as an ensemble. Our productions have the energy and imaginative zest of kids playing make-believe in the backyard and we invite the audience to play along. We believe in the energizing power of sharing stories full of hope and teamwork and strive to engage our audience as collaborators in the act of storytelling.

A Bit of a Party will be presented on Monday, December 10 at 7:30pm in the Great Room at South Oxford Space (138 South Oxford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217). Tickets are $25 in advance (available on www.no11productions.com) or $30 at the door. Industry professionals interested in attending can contact No.11 Productions at no11productions@gmail.com to make a reservation.
