Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)

BLUEBARN THEATRE Presents:

Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)

By Michael Carleton, Jim FitzGerald, and John K. Alvarez

November 20 - December 20, 2025
Directed by Ablan Roblin
Three actors. A million Christmas stories. One wildly fast and hilarious mashup that’s part A Christmas Carol, part The Grinch, part Die Hard (because why the hell not?) Expect laughs, chaos, and a reminder that the best part of the holidays is finding where you belong — even if it’s just surviving your family’s dysfunctional madness with a drink in hand!

Engagement Events

Giving HeARTs Tree Campaign

In Partnership with ENOA (Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging)

ENOA “Giving HeARTs” Tree is located in the Mammel Lobby and will be on display throughout the run of the show

BLUEBARN is proud to continue its partnership with Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging (ENOA), now in its 18th year! Ornaments bearing the names of local elders in need will be on sale on the “Giving HeARTs” tree located in the lobby. Become an elf for the elderly by fulfilling holiday gift needs for seniors in the region.

Art in the Blue- Interwoven

As family, friends, and holidays bring us together in the cold, we weave together the familiar and the new. We encounter fiber every day. Interwoven asks patrons to pause and take a closer look at elevated examples of fine and functional fiber art.
