Back by popular demand, this holiday comedy is not to be missed!

“Poignantly relatable...charming humour and sassy wit that is easily accessible to anyone and everyone who enjoys a good comedy.” – Vancouver Weekly

This original comedy parodies the story of Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol. Eleanor S. Crooge has the classic ‘humbug’ issues as the Dickens’ character, along with the added burden of being completely in denial that she is gay.

Marley is a college girlfriend who visits Crooge many years later as a ghost in her closet. Her warning is followed by visits from the Ghost of Lesbians Past, Ghost of Lesbians Present, and Ghost of Lesbians Future. We see many scenes of Crooge’s life enacted as the ghosts urge her towards being her authentic self.

Eight actors play thirty roles in this comedy with sketches, songs and drag. This is the third time this show has been on Vancouver stages. The script has been polished, the cast re-shuffled, with new faces in the mix, and a new directorial debut.

Come out for the festive cheer!
