NOT ANOTHER CHRISTMAS LETTER! THE MUSICAL
Let the Holidays and Humbug Begin!
Book, Lyrics and Additional Music by Paul Cozby
Music and Arrangements by Laura Bergquist
Directed by Deanna Maio
This show features a series of comic and poignant vignettes with four actors bringing 46 characters to life celebrating everything that drives us crazy about Christmas . . . and why we love it anyway. From receiving that first obnoxious Christmas letter to taking the family picture, from dealing with in-laws, to facing unassembled gifts on Christmas Eve, this show explains why sometimes we want to sing “Wreck the halls!” and then why we’re wistful when Christmas is over.
Each actor plays a different role in each vignette. From harried husband frantically shopping for his wife, to harried dad assembling gifts on Christmas Eve. From grown brother facing the first Christmas without the parents, to a child who won’t go to sleep. Mom-on-the-edge as she organizes the family picture. Bratty teen who’s too cool for the picture. A grownup single girl facing Christmas at the kids table . . . again. And many more.
Rehearsals start on or After 9/17/18
Performances: Saturdays and Sundays 12/1/18 – 12/23/18
Available Roles:
3 Baritone or Tenors
