Event Details:
Our holiday play with music was developed by O-Lan Jones, Artistic Director of Overtone, with lyricist and book writer Kathleen Cramer and Andrea Stein, with music composed by J. Raoul Brody. The current production has an additional song, "Angel's Aria" by Cramer and Brody. Miz Jones will play one of the three "wise babes" along with LA faves, Molly Bryant and Martha Gehman, plus the iconic John Fleck and Lee Kissman, and Ali Tobia, Eric B. Anthony, and Andrew Wheeler, all ably directed by Tony Abatamarco. Mia Torres produces.
The story visits a tiny ramshackle group of performers, the three wise babes, who give in to the pressure all theater companies feel at the holiday season, and agree to stage Charles Dickens' classic, "A Christmas Carol," but they only have a vague recollection of what it is about. Tiny Tom? Tiny Tim's Dad's boss? So, with the eternal optimism common to all in the theater, they hold auditions on, of all nights, Opening Night! They're really hoping for a miracle this time. They get a Tap Dancer, a singer-physicist, "Screamin' Stephen J. Hawkings" as well as his saucy nurse, and, with a nod to the season, an Angel.
Join us for the fun!
