PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Seeking a Swing for "The Greatest Christmas Story Ever Told by Two People, or…A Christmas Carol?," our holiday show tradition - an irreverent yet heartfelt two-person adaptation of Dickens’ classic tale. One person plays Scrooge, and one person plays Everyone Else. Told through Dickens’ original narrative, improv, audience interaction, and (usually) terrible music, this Sylva-style production finds joy, heart, and laughter. This production first premiered in winter 2021 and has since toured to five states with multiple casts.
