The Martin City Melodrama & Vaudeville Company announces its 130th live original production, A Very Merry Schtickmas Show! A vaudevillian-style tribute to classic Christmas TV Specials. Directed by Artistic Director Jeanne Beechwood. A Very Merry Schtickmas Show! Featuring veteran Martin City performers Marcus Mull, Jeanne Beechwood and Dianne Brown as well as Martin City newcomers David Ireland, Christi Coffey, and Chelsea Anglemyer.
Christmas specials are a wonderful tradition and Studio 28 is proud to put on an annual live Christmas TV special every year for the American public, but with no celebrity host available the studio is in dire need of some divine intervention. Luckily, Andy the Angel Williams (recently passed Christmas Special legend) knows what to do: Make this an opportunity for deceased Bette Davis to earn her wings to get into heaven. The professional TV actors for A Very Merry Schtickmas Show! perform to their very best by singing Christmas carols and dancing holiday hi-jinx, but nothing can stop an over-the-top Bette Davis from upstaging the cast and crew and soaking up all the attention in the Water Glass Symphony!
Will Bette learn the true meaning of Christmas in time to save this year’s Christmas TV special and earn her wings? Or will the show fail miserably as Bette Davis drives everyone crazy into the New Year? Watch as the drama unfolds in front of a live studio audience in this hilarious new musical comedy A Very Merry Schtickmas Show!
