A fictitious theatre group in England, consisting of four women and one man, all trying to pull off Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.”  They battle questionable casting (imagine Margaret Thatcher playing Tiny Tim), technical difficulties, infighting, and a low budget to present the annual classic.  Don’t expect a fantastic set, but do expect a lot of laughs as they forge ahead with their well-meaning presentation.  There’s even a couple of original songs.  It’s suitable for all ages and anyone familiar with “A Christmas Carol.”

It takes place at The High Desert Center For The Arts, located on the corner of “C” and 8th Streets in Victorville.  From I-15, take the “D” Street exit and head east past the main intersection at 7th Street.  The next right is 8th Street and you can see the marquee when you turn.
