Over the years, Charles Dickens’ story has become so identified with the very holiday it celebrates that most families can’t imagine a Christmas season without enjoying at least one retelling of this enchanting tale.  The cast of fascinating characters—from the irascible Scrooge to the adored Tiny Tim—continue to make this story a treasured theatrical event.

500 Clown Frankenstein
Friday, Feb. 5 at 8:00 PM
Tickets: $27.00 & $32.00
Three clowns embark on a madcap journey to construct Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory.  Stymied by elaborate and exaggerated period costumes, the clowns are propelled into acrobatic feats in an extended battle with an unruly table.  Comic mayhem takes a sharp turn to a devastating climax when one clown is forced to play the role of the creature and suffer abuse and abandonment.  Clown make monster.
