Synopsis:
An amateur theater company proudly presents a classic 1920s murder mystery, but from the moment the curtain rises, the production is beset by an endless string of mishaps. As forgotten lines, misplaced props, missed cues, and unexpected interruptions threaten to derail the performance, the determined cast presses on with increasingly hilarious results. Packed with brilliant physical comedy, impeccable timing, and nonstop laughs, The Play That Goes Wrong is a theatrical comedy where the biggest mystery isn't whodunit—it's whether the show will make it to the final curtain.

Synopsis:
One of the classics of mid-20th century English theatre, Priestley’s daring play takes place in an English industrial city, where an eminently respectable British family is subject to a routine inquiry in connection with the suicide of a young girl. An inspector calls on the family to interrogate them, and during the course of his questioning, each of them is implicated in the girl’s undoing. Before the evening is over, the formerly friendly and close-knit family members reveal themselves to be selfish, self-centered or cowardly – their good humor turning to acid and their fellowship to disdain.

In this holiday favorite, Charles Dickens shows us Ebenezer Scrooge as he falls asleep in his dingy, cold quarters on Christmas Eve. The old miser is visited by three ghosts, each revealing to Scrooge his wrong doings and what will happen if he continues in his evil ways. A traditional holiday classic for the entire family, guaranteed to fill you with the Christmas spirit and warm your heart.
