Murphys Creek Theatre presents noel nonsense

Break out the tinsel, dust off the ornaments, wrap up those Thanksgiving leftovers and head to the Black Bart Playhouse Nov. 27 to see “Every Christmas Story Ever Told,” a holiday journey through, well, every holiday tale you can imagine.
Instead of performing Charles Dickens’ BHC (Beloved Holiday Classic) for the umpteenth time, three Murphys Creek Theatre actors (Sean M. Lewis, Allison Blackwell and Stephen Daily) decide to present a complete collection of Christmas classics – abridged. The madcap romp includes hilarious renditions of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” “Frosty the Snowman,” “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” along with Christmas traditions from around the world, seasonal icons from ancient times and topical pop culture … and of course, every carol ever sung.
Join Allison, Sean and Stephen as they explore Christmas – from ridiculous and over-the-top commercialism to the true meaning of the holiday spirit – starting Friday, Nov. 27. Curtain rises at 8 p.m. and the show plays at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Dec. 19, with 2 p.m. matinees on Sundays through Dec. 20. The theater is at 580 Algiers St., Murphys.
The Murphys Creek Theatre troupe invites you to give the gift of theater this year, as ticket prices have been lowered for this special holiday season. Tickets to “Every Christmas Story Ever Told” cost $7 children 12 and under and $12 for seniors 60 and older. Adult tickets cost $15 each. To purchase tickets, visit murphyscreektheatre.org or call 728-8422. Tickets are also available at the door.
