Holiday* comedies are a tradition at
Yellow Tree Theatre since the very beginning of their 18 seasons, when co-founder Jessica Lind Peterson wrote
an original play about a small town theater couple that had to come up with a new Christmas show when the rights to the show they were planning to do were pulled, because, you guessed it, the rights to the show they were planning to do were pulled. This art-imitating-life creation spawned a franchise of goofy Minnesota holiday shows that Yellow Tree did for many years, and now under new Artistic Director of the last several years Austene Van, they're continuing this holiday comedy tradition. This year's selection is one we haven't seen at Yellow Tree before, but shares a similar theme with that first holiday comedy.
A Christmas Carol... More or Less is about another small town theater couple in crisis, and the theater magic they create using Dickens' classic story of redemption and generosity. It's fun and funny and heart-warming, featuring a fantastic two-person cast in an immersive and gently participatory experience in Yellow Tree's intimate space. And since I'm not the only one who loves this Yellow Tree holiday comedy tradition, the show is close to selling out the entire run,
so get your tickets now!
