What if a minor character in A Christmas Carol, Mrs. Bob Cratchit, suddenly 
took center stage and couldn’t stand the emotional sap around her?  Find out in 
Durang’s parody, Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge.  

The cast features Pam Matthews as the sarcastic, disgruntled Mrs. Cratchit who 
spends the majority of the play trying to throw herself off of London Bridge in 
an effort to get away from her husband Bob Cratchit (Dave Holmes), crippled 
child, Tiny Tim (Amanda Farinelli) and enormous daughter Little Nell (Katie 
Withnell).  Of course, her way is constantly thwarted as her story intertwines 
with The Ghost’s (Heather Hersh) plan to reform Ebenezer Scrooge (Bob 
Kenderes).  Throw in the jolly Fezziwigs, played by Joe McIntyre and Maggie 
Majercik, and an alternative Mrs. Cratchit, played by Heather Leporati, and you 
have a twisted comedy that is sure to lead in a thousand directions, none of 
them what Dickens intended.

at 8pm, a matinee on the Saturday the 2nd at 2pm, and a special show time on
