Four days before Christmas in Tinsel, Texas, a colorful parade of eccentric guests arrive at the Snowflake Inn and deck the halls with holiday hilarity. Trina, the harried yet upbeat innkeeper of this B&B, has more than she can handle coping with these nuttier-than-a-fruitcake lodgers. Hoyt and his sister, Donna Jo, make the mistake of trying to end a thirty-year feud between their curmudgeonly aunts, Ennis and Della, with sidesplitting results. Ainsley and Lenora, self-involved actors from a lower-than-low-budget touring production of A Christmas Carol, descend on the Inn to fulfill a promise, leaving comedic chaos in their wake. Add to this Yuletide mayhem an ill-advised romantic rendezvous between Mrs. Claus and one of Santa’s elves. This demanding guest refuses to leave, not to mention a tipsy housekeeper, and it will take more than a kiss under the mistletoe to keep Trina’s spirits merry and bright. But a spur-of-the-moment Christmas Eve wedding that brings together the fabulous Futrelle sisters—Honey Raye, Twink, Frankie, and Rhonda Lynn—and their best friend, Raynerd, takes a surprising and delightful turn that leads to a laugh-’till-your-sides-ache climax, changing all their lives forever.

Michael Maliakel, vocalist
Broadway’s Aladdin
Perfect for ages 7 to infinity!
Celebrate the magic of the season with Holiday at Peace, Greenville’s favorite Christmas family tradition! This year’s festive program features the stunning vocals of Broadway’s Aladdin, Michael Maliakel! Rooted in cherished traditions and filled with new surprises, this holiday spectacular unites nationally renowned artists and beloved local talent in a heartfelt celebration of family, community, and the spirit of the season.
Join us at NC Stage for Random Act Productions’ “A Christmas Carol: A Play With Music” December 11th – December 21st
Experience Charles Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL the way it was intended.
From 1853 to 1870, Dickens gave public readings of his story, touring America and Great Britain — even going so far as to develop the characters and voices for his performances. A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a classic story that is meant to be heard and performed in front of audiences of all ages.
This adaptation of A CHRISTMAS CAROL stays true to that original intention. Entirely Dickens’ text, the play is woven throughout with live music as an actor (and his trusty musician) brings all of the characters to life in vivid detail. A story of redemption and the power of the holiday spirit, it is also a celebration of the theatre, where virtuosic acting and a commitment to the power of storytelling brings us all closer together — and to the Christmas spirit in all of us.
Wednesday – Saturday: 7:30pm, Sunday: 2pm, + additional show Friday the 19th at 2pm
All tickets on a sliding scale from $10-$45
