22-Dec 22 Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge A simple retelling of the Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. In this twisted musical version, Mrs. Cratchit takes center stage as an angry, stressed-out modern-day woman who wants out of repressive Victorian London and away from her 20 children. Getting drunk and jumping off London Bridge seems like a perfectly reasonable option. However, a magic malfunction by the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future while rehabilitating Ebenezer Scrooge transports Mrs. Cratchit and Scrooge to the wrong time and place with hilarious, unintended consequences. By Christopher Durang, Directed by Grant Gelvin, Produced by Andy Lukes; 116 S Kalmia St.;
