CHRISTMAS WITH THE CRAWFORDS - Written by Mark Sargent and Richard Winchester

PERHAPS ARTFULL CIRCLE THEATRE'S MOST WIDELY KNOWN THEATRICAL PIECE, CWTC DEBUTED IN SAN FRANCISCO IN 1992 AND HAS HAD HOLIDAY AUDIENCES IN STITCHES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY EVER SINCE.

THE HOLIDAY MUSICAL IS BASED ON THE LEGENDARY LATE 1940'S CHRISTMAS EVE BROADCAST OF JOAN CRAWFORD AND HER CHILDREN FROM THEIR HOME IN BRENTWOOD, IS A IRREVERENT ROMP FEATURING A BEVY OF HOLLYWOOD DIVAS, BURSTING INTO JOAN'S HOME - ALL UNINVITED - ONLY TO SEIZE THE LIMELIGHT WITH A SONG AND TURN JOAN'S PERFECT EVENING INTO A GIN SOAKED NIGHTMARE. A MOMMIE DEAREST MOMENT BETWEEN JOAN AND CHRISTINA OVER A CHRISTMAS GIFT COMPLETES THE MAYHEM, AND LEAVES THE AUDIENCE - WHEN THEY'VE FINALLY STOPPED LAUGHING - WITH THE FEELING THAT MAYBE THEIR OWN FAMILIES DURING THE HOLIDAYS AREN'T SO BAD........ AFTER ALL.

CWTC HAS PLAYED IN SAN FRANCISCO - LOS ANGELES - SEATTLE - PORTLAND, OREGON - RICHMOND, VIRGINIA - WICHITA, KANSAS - OMAHA, NEBRASKA, AND NEW YORK CITY - STARRING * JOEY ARIAS * ( CIRQUE DU SOLEIL'S ZUMANITY, ARIAS WITH A TWIST, NYC PERFORMANCE ARTIST ) AND WHERE IT RECEIVED A DRAMA DESK NOMINATION FOR COSTUMES (DESIGNED BY CHRIS MARCH OF "PROJECT RUNWAY " FAME) IN 2002.
