CHRISTMAS ON THE ROCKS Returns to TheaterWorks

An offbeat collection of twisted holiday tales by John Cariani, Jeffrey Hatcher, Jenn Harris & Matt Wilkas, Jacques Lamarre, Theresa Rebeck, Edwin Sanchez and Jonathan Tolins.

Fresh, funny and smart - it's back. Audiences will laugh even harder this year when Theater Works introduces a new story co-written by Jenn Harris and Matt Wilkas.

Conceived and directed by Producing Artistic Director Rob Ruggiero, Hartford's newest holiday tradition premiered at Theater Works three years ago and features eight playwrights each adding their own spin to the canon of holiday traditions past.

Rob said "Our audiences love Christmas on the Rocks. This year we've added a terrifically funny new story. And I'm thrilled Jenn, Matt and Ron will all be back"

It's Christmas Eve in a rundown local bar. Expecting a silent night, the bartender finds himself mixing drinks for a parade of surprising guests - children from your favorite Christmas specials and movies - now all grown up. Join them as they pour out their Christmas woes in this delightful parody.

CHRISTMAS ON THE ROCKS runs November 29 through December 23, 2016.
