A Christmas Comedy in Two Acts | It’s four days before Christmas in the tiny town of Tinsel, Texas, and a colorful parade of eccentric guests arrive at the Snowflake Inn and deck the halls with holiday hilarity.
This show is split into 4 scenes. Each scene has its own characters and plot arc. Once that scene is over, those characters are gone–with the exception of Trina, the owner of the B&B who is in every scene; Mr Boykin, who is HEARD in the first three scenes; and Lou Ida who is heard in the first two scenes.
