We've put together a little video for those that haven't seen A Queer Christmas Carol, to show you what we were working on in November and December. We have shows planned for the end of February at The Mug and we can't wait to see you then. Shout out to CJ Higgins, Timothy Polagye, The Hum'n'bards Theater Troupe, and everyone who helped us get to where we are right now. <3
