The brilliant improvisers of Mid Atlantic Improv turn the (second) most famous Christmas story upside down thanks to the suggestions and participation of audience members. The show follows the familiar structure of the beloved Dickens novel from the first “Bah Humbug!” to “God bless us, everyone!” Along the way, however, it may turn out that Scrooge runs a Strip Club for Seniors in Miami or a Surf Shop in Akron; Marley could be played by Queen Elizabeth or Prince; and the Ghost of Christmas Past could even be played by Helen Keller. It all depends on the audience. This version of A Christmas Carol is unlike anything audiences have ever seen before—a never-before-seen, never-to-be-repeated take on a holiday classic.
