Christmas Dearest
December 8 - 18, 2022
Price: $30
By David Cerda
Production Sponsor: Steve Hagen
It’s 1953 and Joan is desperate to reignite her career with the new film Oh, Mary!, a big splashy musical adaption of the life of the Virgin Mary. Everything has to be perfect, but the stress of surviving in Hollywood has turned Joan into a tyrant! Even Carol Ann, Joan’s faithful personal assistant is at her wits’ end. What Joan needs is a miracle, and that’s exactly what she gets when she’s visited by three ghosts who try to show Joan the error of her ways and the true meaning of the holidays.
RUNTIME: 2 hours, including one 15-minute intermission.
