AUDITIONS for Christmas play

By Lourdes Quijada

PANAMA’S renowned Theatre Guild of Ancon is  looking for actors to give the shop ’till you drop fraternity a break from the pre-Christmas slog  with  a seasonal show with the timely title “Christmas Stopping”

The plot is based on “what could be better for Christmas than doing away with it?”

Stopping Christmas is just what Grant, a middle aged psychiatrist, sets out to do.

bells
Goodbye to all those bells

No overspending, no gifts, no trying to maintain the myth of Santa for your twenty-eight year old daughter, no Christmas Blues – and all those Christmas bells.

But his family thinks he’s an old Scrooge, and when elves and Santa’s from the mall start hurling protests through his window his wife packs her bags.

Grant is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas future that tells him horror stories of endless productions of a Christmas Carol and even throws in a rap about Santa that really shakes Grant to his core.

Should he go back to Christmas or hold onto his crusade?

No Christmas = no family Is it really a good idea, this Christmas Stopping?
