Redlands U3A Musical Theatre presents 

A CHRISTMAS CHAOS

Written by Michael Wehrli by arrangement with Brooklyn Publishers Featuring: The Starlite Dancers and Scottish Dancers Sunday 28 Oct & Sunday 4 Nov 2pm Thornlands State School Hall South Street, Thornlands. 

When a professional troupe of actors fails to arrive, a local theatre group decides that “the show must go on” and for a day and a half rehearses Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol”. The cast quickly finds themselves out of their depth with a few ghosts too many and not a ghost of a chance of meeting the expected visitors’ standards let alone knowing what’s going on. There are Cratchits, Scrooge and a couple of “Tiny Tims??!! Added to the mix are actors who steal each other’s parts, those who pop in and out of character and one who freezes immediately on stage. It’s certainly chaotic!

Tickets $10 available at U3A Office and at the door
