Photo Flash: Hell in a Handbag's CHRISTMAS DEAREST at Mary's Attic
Everybody's favorite holiday bitch is back and she's meaner then ever in the return of CHRISTMAS DEAREST, Hell in a Handbag Productions'' Joan Crawford-infused parody of A Christmas Carol by David Cerda, directed by Steve Love.

T'was the night before Christmas and MGM''s biggest star, Miss Joan Crawford, is filming the title role in "Oh Mary," a splashy new musical biography about The Virgin Mary, Mother of God. Poor Joan needs a drink. And a REWRITE! Jesus has all the best lines, the costumes aren''t sexy at all, and the guy playing Joseph is a big clumsy oaf! If they will just do it Joan''s way maybe she can salvage the picture. Join Handbag as Joan visits her shady past, her appalling present and her eye-popping future - in a tale of glamorous redemption set to music.
