Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)

by Michael Carleton, James FitzGerald and John K. Alvarez

December 6 – 22

Allentown Brew Works' fifth floor ballroom on Thursdays, in the Disco at The Stonewall on Fridays and at a location yet to be determined on Saturdays.

In this holiday revel, instead of doing Dickens yet again, a trio of actors powers through every Yule tale ever told – plus Christmas traditions from around the world, and all the carols too. A merry, witty dash through the holiday season, in the relaxed atmosphere of various 'watering holes' in the Valley. With lots of wig and mustache swapping, unscripted adlibs and occasional bits of audience participation, Every Christmas Story Ever Told is likely to become a fun, new holiday tradition.

What the critics said:

"If you want to view a Holiday production, Every Christmas Story Ever Told provides a timely take on Christmas and pop culture with consistent laughs. It's an evening well spent." --Leslie Niswonger, KUJH-TV (Kansas)

"Warning: If you see Every Christmas Story Ever Told, you'll never be able to watch Dickens' A Christmas Carol without laughing out loud." --David Jacobson, Life Newspapers (Sacramento)

"The play accomplishes the small miracle of making all Christmas myths seem both utterly ridiculous and absolutely essential. Yes, Virginia, you can have your fruitcake and eat it, too." --Steve Schneider, Orlando Weekly
