The Complete Works of Christmas (Abridged)

She’ll be home for Christmas — home alone that is. It’s Christmas Eve and one lady is determined to get into the holiday spirits. Armed with eggnog, she’s going to binge drink and binge watch every Christmas story available. Elf-help be damned! Who needs loved ones when you have the Hallmark Channel?

Starring local stage and screen luminary, and two-time Barrymore Award winner, Amanda Schoonover, this world premier blends the warm glow of chestnuts roasting on an open fire with the surprise intoxication of your Aunt at the family dinner. Local audiences know Schoonover from her star turns with the Arden Theatre Company, Theatre Exile, and others. She also appears in the holiday film “Candy Cane Lane” with Eddie Murphy. In “The Complete Works of Christmas (Abridged),” she shares a chaotic mashup of touching and familiar films, songs, and stories.
