“Every Christmas Story Ever Told…and then some”, written by Michael Carleton, James FitzGerald and John K. Alvarez and directed by Lindsey Elsberry, is “a madcap romp through the holiday season! Instead of performing Charles Dickens’ beloved holiday classic for the umpteenth time, the actors decide to perform every Christmas story ever told – plus Christmas traditions from around the world, seasonal icons from ancient times to topical pop-culture, and every carol ever sung.”
Every Christmas Story Ever Told is presented by Cushing Regional Hospital and it is the first time Lindsey Elsberry has directed a play in Cushing. Elsberry is from Yale and has a real passion for acting and directing. “We think it’s going to be a lot of fun and we hope a lot of people come out to enjoy it,” Elsberry said. “Bring your friends and family!”
