TUESDAY LOWDOWN: Pushing Holiday Boundaries in Blue Lake
Small town theatre FTW again! Michael Fields’ Longshadr Productions continues to innovate and experiment, this time at the Mad River Grange with an original holiday-themed production called Yet Another Non-Profit Christmas Carol. We’ll just go ahead and give you the synopsis from the promotional materials:
A board meeting for the financially-challenged National Theatre of the Woods is caused awry when members are trapped in the local grange after the town bridge collapses due to tumultuous weather.
Tommy Titlinger, the burnt out artistic director (played by Fields), calls upon his colleagues to enact a zany version of A Christmas Carol to pass the time. Will it help raise the organization’s bottom line? Can the board ever make a decision? Wait, what’s the actual mission of this theater?
Hilarity ensues, one imagines. YANPCC premieres on Tuesday, the first of six performances on consecutive days. More details on that show and others in your Lowdown below.
