About
by Michael Carleton, James FitzGerald, and John K. Alvarez
Directed by NICHOLAS HULSTINE
Get ready to sleigh your holiday expectations with Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)—a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud comedy that crams every beloved (and a few forgotten) holiday tale into one wildly entertaining theatrical event. What begins as a traditional performance of A Christmas Carol quickly spirals into a madcap mashup of It’s a Wonderful Life, Frosty the Snowman, The Grinch, The Nutcracker, Rudolph, and more.
Three fearless actors take on dozens of characters with lightning-fast costume changes, clever choreography, and a sleigh-full of festive improv. From international traditions to pop culture parodies, this show roasts the over-commercialization of the season while delivering genuine holiday cheer.
Perfect for families, friends, coworkers, and anyone who loves to laugh, this is not your grandmother’s holiday pageant—it’s a joyful, irreverent rollercoaster of wreaths, wassails, and wacky wonder. Whether you’re a holiday enthusiast or a certified Scrooge, you’ll leave the theater with aching cheeks and a heart full of seasonal spirit.
So put down the fruitcake, grab your Santa hat, and join us for the ultimate holiday mashup you never knew you needed—but won’t be able to forget!
Warning: If you see Every Christmas Story Ever Told, you'll never be able to watch Dickens' A Christmas Carol without laughing out loud.

A hilarious send-up of, well, every Christmas story ever told ... This is a highly recommended alternative to cut-and-dry Christmas offerings.
— NUVO Indianapolis Arts and Entertainment
A show that will have you laughing harder than spiked egg nog.
— TheOtherOrlando
The play accomplishes the small miracle of making all Christmas myths seem both utterly ridiculous and absolutely essential. Yes, Virginia, you can have your fruitcake and eat it, too.
