The Other Side of Christmas (as the “e” in e.b. lee)
Drama/Comedy ● 110 - 120 minutes ● 8-35+ actors ● Set: Minimal
It’s easy to look at the Christmas season through rose-colored glasses, but the scrappy radio show “The Other Side” makes it their mission to bring you a different point of view. Through a series of vignettes, host Thomas May guides his audience through moments that aren’t exactly holiday card material: camping out on line for a Black Friday sale, spending your first Christmas without a loved one, forced fun at the office holiday party…some funny, some poignant, all unexpected. The Other Side of Christmas is a heartfelt and humorous play about putting down the burdens of perfection and embracing what truly makes the holiday season special – each other.
