Synopsis
Residents of a retirement center wish for an old-fashioned Christmas. Their wish comes true, with unexpected complications: the microwave becomes a wood stove, with a pile of wood waiting to be chopped; the bathroom disappears and an outhouse springs up in the backyard, etc. They eventually decide that today is better. An Old-Fashioned Christmas is fun for actors and audiences of all ages. Mature performers will enjoy portraying themselves and their friends (and maybe an enemy or two). Young actors will get a good workout in character development as they put on makeup, add a touch of gray to their hair and imitate their grandparents (with perhaps a spoonful of spoof). The play is fun any time of year. It was first presented by the Hi Desert Playhouse Guild in Joshua Tree, California.
