MACUNGIE, PA “ Star of the Day presents its final production of the year: "Tidings: A Fractured Christmas Fable!"
"Tidings: A Fractured Christmas Fable" is a humorous original story which merges elements of 'Its A Wonderful Life' and 'A Christmas Carol' into a magical story set a few days before Christmas in a modern department store. George “ a down-on-his-luck department store Santa “ has reached the bottom of his rope and resigns himself to spending another Christmas alone (and drunk) until his guardian angel appears to attempt to improve his spirits and steer him on the path towards success.
At the same time, the Spirit of Christmas Present (his friends call him "CP") is undertaking his own mission to reform the wicked store manager Frederick Neezer. With Christmas rapidly approaching, the guardian angel and CP discover they both need a lovely and shy young woman named Virginia to help with their "assignments" ¦ but neither is willing to share her!
A holiday show filled with magic, mischief, humor, Santa, angels, long-lost relatives, and the childhood hope that everything you wish for will come true on Christmas morning.
The organization is proud to bring this holiday comedy written and directed by local Macungie playwright, Brian McDermott.
