Right on the heels of the sublimely satirical existential hit No Exit, The Off-Central Players shift to the silly, hilarious and ridiculous.
Currently in rehearsal and running December 7th through December 17, The OCP presents David MacGregor’s comedy, Scrooge Macbeth.
In this play directed by Ward Smith, it’s opening night for the Heartland County Players holiday production of Shakespeare’s, The Winter’s Tale. A food poisoning outbreak sidelines all but four cast members (skillfully played David Warner, Melissa Misener, Tracey Reynolds and Troy Brooks). With an expectant audience just outside the doors, can these four amateur thespians concoct some kind of holiday entertainment? Imagine if Ebeneezer Scrooge showed up on Juliet’s balcony or Hamlet went Christmas shopping? The play fills the audience with holiday cheer while poking a little fun at the world’s most famous writer. With this hilarious and violent collision between everything Christmas and everything Shakespeare, you will never think of the Bard and the Holidays in quite the same way again.

David MacGregor’s Scrooge Macbeth, is a Comedic Holiday Comedy set to the tune of two things... everything Christmas and the most prolific playwright ever known to classical theatre, William Shakespeare. Now I know what your thinking, how can the works of the Bard possibly coincide with that of Holiday Merriment, Joy, Giving, and Peace and Good Will to all men. For it is by the sheer amount of “Good Will...” all puns intended that David MacGregor’s farcical masterpiece will have you rolling in the aisles of the theatre, and feeling the need to relieve yourself in the nearest restroom.
Following a much-needed summer break, The Off-Central Players return to close out 2023 with four ambitious productions spanning the bitter-sweet serious, the existential-satirical and the outright silly.
The Off-Central is at 2260 1st Ave S, Saint Petersburg, FL.
