Abstract
Several Christmases ago (2006), two best buddies had the wonderfully unique idea to stage a Christmas "Spectacular" at one of their houses. It featured thousands of manually operated dancing Christmas Lights set to original music as well as a bunch of Christmastime standards. They appropriately called it "Lights of Joy." From this humble beginning came "The Forgotten Christmas" the following Christmas in 2007. This play featured an original storyline combining elements from The Nutcracker & a Christmas Carol (ie: a scene was shared between Ebenezer Scrooge and the Drosselmeyer). As time went on, the quality of their shows increased until they reached the inevitable, stumbling upon the exhilarating script that was "Every Christmas Story Ever Told, and then Some!" in 2008. This production marked the first production under their new name, Master Theatre Group. After performing a few small murder mysteries and dinner parties for family and friends, they are so happy to be back on stage with this marvelous comedy attempting to exemplify everybody's idea of "Christmas!" An exemplary team consisting of several of the most active young artists in the area are here tonight to bring you this tantalizing love of tasty tidbits relevant to this most joyous time of year. So indulge us, if you will, and join us for the best Christmas party in town! We hope you enjoy this show as much as we've enjoyed bringing it to you! -Masters Theatre Group
