Christmas
With the Crawfords takes place on Christmas Eve, 1944. Joan has
recently been fired by MGM and is looking forward to the live radio
broadcast from her Brentwood mansion - hosted by her friend, Hedda
Hopper - as a way of keeping herself in the public eye as she vies for a
role in a film noir piece entitled Mildred Pierce, reluctantly offered
to her by Warner Bros. Suffice it to say the broadcast does not go
well. Joan is plagued by problems, including the never-ending arrival
of uninvited holiday guests who take over the spotlight to sing their
favorite holiday song.
Where else can you see the likes of
Bette Davis, Judy Garland, Gloria Swanson, Hattie McDaniel, Carmen
Miranda and Ethel Merman all in one room, singing their hearts out
without a care in the world? The appeal of Christmas with the Crawfords
is broad. Young, old, suburban and city dwellers alike
show up for a Christmas with Joan and the children that they will never
forget.
Two fast-growing, criticically-acclaimed troupes join forces for their 2008-2009 seasons.
