68 Cent Crew Theatre Company Presents
Lost in Radioland’s “A Chanukah Carol”
A New Comedy by Ryan James
Artistic Director & Producer: General Hospital’s
Ronnie Marmo
Hollywood, CA – Tired of that same old “A Christmas Carol?” Don’t be a Scrooge! Theatre 68, which CBS Los Angeles touted as one of the Top 99-Seat Theaters in LA, is proud to premier the original comedy “A Chanukah Carol”, a 1940’s radio-style play that presents a new take on an old classic. Charles Dickens would roll over in his grave...or would he kvell?
In Ryan James and Denny Seigel's original comedy, the seasoned cast of a 1940’s radio show, featuring the stars of the day, is about to perform their annual holiday classic, “A Christmas Carol.” At the last moment their Scrooge is injured, and the only understudy they can find is a Jewish actor who will only perform the piece if all the Christmas references are replaced with Chanukah ones. As the actors and stagehands frantically adjust to the last minute script changes, the on-set live sound effects artist has problems of his own. Punctuated by live (Chanukah) carolers and the clashing egos and idiosyncrasies of the cast, “A Chanukah Carol” is fresh, funny, and a comedy candy cane with a new twist.
A Channukah Carol runs December 2nd – December 18th. Friday & Saturdays @ 8pm, Sundays at 3pm. Theatre 68 is a beautiful, spacious venue with 99 seats and free rooftop parking. Tickets are $25 or $20 with an unwrapped toy.
