B. Someday Productions Closes A FRACTURED CHRISTMAS CAROL 12/30

B. Someday Productions' holiday fare, A FRACTURED CHRISTMAS CAROL is not only a show for adults and children, alike, but has been created by both. 

In a unique collaboration, professional actors and young performers, some of whom have never appeared on the stage, wrote the script together and will perform the production at Kensington's Walking Fish
Theatre.

"At B. Someday, we want our theatre company to be a part of the community and the community to be part of our theatre; bringing professional talent and local young newcomers together to create a
theatrical experience is in keeping with that mission," said managing artistic director Michelle Pauls.
