Scrooge in Rouge

By Ricky Graham and Jefferson Turner with additional material by Jeff Roberson and Yvette Hargis

Directed by Michael Bruno and Music Directed by Lizzie Hansen

"Scrooge in Rouge" finds a 23-member acting troupe reduced to three by a shared case of post-Christmas-party food poisoning. The show must go on, for better or worse, which means that the three actors left standing have to shoulder the entire production, running from role to role throughout the production. The show is full of puns, groaners and tacky jokes, as well as asides to the audience and some outrageous songs - and yes, Ebenezer really does rhyme with geezer, teaser and squeeze 'er.
