Christmastown

Christmastown

By Briana Brown

Directed by Rob Kempson

A world premiere farce about making magic all year long.

Kringle, Ontario is in a rut. When the well-meaning town reeve devises a tourism development plan to celebrate Christmas all year round, the town thinks it’s a great idea. But two weeks and a heat wave later, they’re having second thoughts. Nora, whose convenience store (and gas station) is the centre of cultural activity, is suddenly desperate for a much-needed vacation. Throw in an anxious restauranteur, a sassy teenager, and a wide-eyed new resident, and you’ve got a recipe for a veritable blizzard of hilarity!

“Christmastown is inspired by the small towns in Ontario I’ve lived in and near. There’s a specific kind of community that exists in these places, and I loved exploring that dynamic between families, neighbours, and tourists. And what could be more fun than writing a holiday show set in the midst of a heat wave?” ~ Briana Brown

This world premiere Canadian comedy by celebrated writer Briana Brown chronicles the holiday magic of small-town living—all while sweating in Santa suits in August!
