Show Length: 1.5 hrs
Language & Type: English – Theatre - Comedy - Drama
Description
"Every Christmas Story Ever Told" expropriates material from sources as diverse as "It's A Beautiful Life" and those old Christmas specials on TV sponsored by Norelco and tosses them into a madcap blender that bubbles over with wry wit and shameless belly laughs. As the play itself says, it's "Xmas Xtreme."
The new show plays cleverly on the time-honored tradition, observed by many regional theaters of presenting Dickens’ "A Christmas Carol" year after year. But enough is enough and the three actors, in what starts out as a pared-down version of the Dickens classic, stage a mutiny and, in an effort to breathe new life into an old tradition, attempt to tell, yes, "Every Christmas Story Ever Told" in the space of 90 minutes.

The Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals is built on four principles:
- No Artistic Direction. Artists are selected by ‘first come, first served’.
- No Censorship. Artists have complete freedom to present their work.
- Accessibility to artists. Anyone can apply to the Fringe.
- Accessibility to audience. Ticket prices are kept low and 100% of the ticket price is returned to the artists you see on stage.
