SYNOPSIS: Loosely based on Dickens' “A Christmas Carol,” scrooge-like Oscar DeWilder is a scathing theatre critic whose reviews are feared throughout the theatre world. He is just as cruel to his housekeeping staff and Claire, his lovely niece. They decide to teach him a lesson, a la Dickens. Claire is engaged to one of the Piccadilly Players, an acting troupe recently lambasted by DeWilder so they need little encouragement to lend their somewhat dubious talents to this worthy cause. Davidson Harley (the modern Jacob Marley) appears and warns DeWilder that he'll be visited by three spirits, each with attitude! The Spirits of Valentines Present, Past and Future appear and revive a few ghosts from DeWilder's past to teach him a lesson he'll never forget. Set, lighting, and costume requirements are minimal. Violence and weapon-free.
