Directed by David Fritsch, this lively and laughter-filled production will feature “live direction” — with David guiding not only his cast of readers but also brave audience members who volunteer to take on surprise roles throughout the evening. From playing a joyful caroler to echoing Scrooge’s famous “Bah, humbug!,” audience participants will help shape each performance into something entirely unique.

Everyone in attendance will be encouraged to join in the merriment — singing along to familiar carols, jingling festive props, and filling the Barn with holiday spirit. Whether you take the stage or cheer from your seat, this family-friendly event promises a night of connection, laughter, and good old-fashioned community fun.
