VHS Christmas Carol

A VHS Christmas Carol is a 45-minute musical that reimagines Charles Dickens' classic tale through the lens of 1980s aesthetics and synth-driven music videos. Created by Clark Baxtresser, the show follows

Ebenezer Scrooge as he encounters ghosts who lead him on a journey through Christmases past, present, and future. Originally streamed online in 2020, it was adapted into a full-length stage production in 2023. The musical features catchy songs and a festive, retro twist on a holiday classic.

Students will arrive at 5:30 pm on December, 20th and will perform the next day, December, 21st .

Because the entirety of the rehearsal process is condensed into 24 hours, everyone will be expected to stay overnight. This will be an adult supervised "lock in" experience.
