A High Country Christmas Carol - World Premiere

The Christmas Bus
Mrs. Frump, the bumbling but dedicated director of the Peaceful Valley Orphanage, wants her kids to experience an extra special Christmas with a real family – and noone will stop her! Not the law-abiding Sheriff Snodgrass, not the gossipy town busybodies, not even a broken down old school bus that’s seen better days. Add a hitchhiking troubadour with a few dreams of his own, and you have a rollicking Christmas story for the whole family that’s sure to become a holiday classic.

It’s the beginning of a new school year, and the high school drama club is holding auditions for its fall production. As the acknowledged leader of the club, Emily is sure she will be offered the lead role – until the arrival of an equally talented transfer student named Tasha challenges Emily’s position as the best actress in school. A volatile rivalry between the two becomes more than a contest for a part in a play, and tensions between the Caucasian and the African-American girls spread from the drama club to the entire school. Students wrestle with their peers, their racial prejudices and themselves. Cracks in the social strata reveal the simmering complexity beneath. What will boil over and what will be left … for better or worse? With inspiration drawn from the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case, The Drama Club explores a modern dilemma that schools continue to face: how do we truly connect with each other and what are the stakes if we fail?
NOTE: This production contains mature themes and strong language and is recommended for middle and high school audiences.
