Alabama State Premiere: "MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE" November 9, 2007

THEATRE HUNTSVILLE presents the ALABAMA PREMIERE of Christopher Durang’s MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE, directed by JIM ZIELIŃSKI. The hilarious comedy runs November 9-11 (Friday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m. & Sunday, 2 p.m. matinée) and November 15-17 (Thursday-Friday, 7:30 p.m. & Saturday, 2:00 matinée & 7:30 p.m.), in HUNTSVILLE’S Von Braun Center Playhouse.

In this Burlesque of A Christmas Carol, Durang takes the old holiday chestnut, roasts it on an open fire, distills its timeless essence, and re-decks its halls with howls of jollity! History’s Most Renowned Miser and Most Desperate Housewife are accidentally entangled by a feisty, soulful Ghost of Christmas Past, Present, and Future who can’t get her Yuletide magic to function properly. No matter where she and Scrooge are headed, they either end up in the Cratchit’s present-day hovel or in the wrong Christmas story! MRS. BOB is warm wassail for the soul, with just a pinch of cayenne and a twist of Oliver. If you love A Christmas Carol, you’ll love MRS. BOB. If you hate A Christmas Carol, you might want to marry her!

Tickets are $15 – Adults; $13 – Students, Seniors, and Active Military (with I.D.). Group rates are available, and we accommodate tour and school groups.
