Center stage sits a waiting Victorian top hat. Why? Because thirty seconds before curtain, our notorious diva leading man decided Chicago wind ruins his vocal cords, announced he "doesn't do black box," and bolted from an O'Hare airport bar for dinner theatre in Nebraska.
Fortunately, our frantic stagehand spent forty-eight straight hours writing every single Scrooge line onto giant SNL-style poster boards in thick black Sharpie—complete with acting cues in bright red marker! Armed with three fearless actors, a rolling costume rack, a slide whistle, and kitchen-pan sound effects, the cast recruits one brave audience volunteer to save Dickens' masterpiece live on stage.
Whether you crave the spotlight or want to stay tucked into your table with a holiday cocktail, we've got you covered.
100% Volunteer-Only Guarantee: Shy theatregoers can breathe completely easy. We never drag, guilt, or ambush unwilling audience members onto the stage.
Grab a craft beer, mulled wine, cocktail, or soda from our cabaret bar, kick back with your crew, and cheer on tonight's brave hometown hero!
✓ Zero Forced ParticipationZero Preparation Needed: Raise your hand when the cast calls for a hero! You'll don the Cloak of Miserliness and Top Hat of Capitalist Greed while your onstage prompter holds up every single line and stage direction.
Survive Act One and you'll walk out to the bar with an official complimentary VIP Intermission Drink Voucher on the house!
