A Sneak Peek Staged-Reading of a New Play by Award-Winning Playwright Phil Olson
It’s Christmas Eve in a small west Texas town and cantankerous barbecue joint owner Buford Johnson gets in an argument with his wife, Darla, tells her he's skipping Christmas, he storms out of the restaurant, goes four wheeling in his pickup, gets hit by a twister, rolls his truck and goes into a coma. He comes back in his dream where he's visited by ex-business partner, Hank Walker, who plays the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future. Hank takes Buford (Scrooge) on a journey similar to that in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" only Texas style.
"Featuring Kevin Becker, Truett Jean Butler, Michael Cortez, Rebekah Czarnecki & Bert Emmett."
