A Christmas Chaos was written by Michael Wehrli and directed by veteran Village Players actor and director Gail Pierce. A Christmas Chaos is a comedy where everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Imagine that the Royal Shakespeare Company has not shown up for a performance of A Christmas Carol. What does the theater company do? It gathers up a group of hapless actors and technicians to put together a production in less than a day.
Pierce said, “Imagine your classic A Christmas Carol. Now imagine everything going hilariously wrong. There are missing actors, a frazzled director and last-minute swaps. All of this makes this Christmas carol anything but traditional.”
In A Christmas Chaos, the cast and crew scramble to keep the show on track, giving audiences an evening of unexpected laughs, holiday mishaps and a warm reminder of the season’s true spirit. It’s a fast-paced comedy where the wheels might come off, but the laughs just keep rolling.
