A Christmas Scarol & The Little Match Girl at ARTS Unlimited

A Christmas Scarol – A Short Comedy by Don Zolidis

When Tim can’t think of a Christmas gift for his high-maintenance girlfriend, he’s visited by four terrifying spirits (actually, five – they’ve been hiring) who whisk him away on a harrowing and hilarious journey into the past, present, future, and alternate timeline. This wild and free-spirited adaptation of the holiday classic is a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas (getting awesome presents).

The Little Match Girl (drama by Herman Ammann, based on the Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tale)

This tragic story is dramatized with love and tenderness. Ragged, hungry Maggie tries to sell matches on a cold night, but no one will buy them – not because people are malicious or spiteful, but because they are so involved in their own lives that they fail to understand the needs of others. To keep warm, Maggie lights her matches and her pitiful little flame lights up the world around her – and eventually of those she encounters.
