Mrs. Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge - Little Lake Theatre Company
Back to Top of ListDecember 4 - 21, 2025
Starting off a very merry season of theatre arts is Little Lake Theatre with its presentation of Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge. In this madcap comedy, Mrs. Cratchit has had enough of her overworked husband, their countless children, and the sentimental holiday clichés. When the Ghost of Christmas Past arrives to set things right, chaos ensues as the story takes wildly unexpected detours. Filled with sharp wit, zany characters, and laugh-out-loud moments, this uproarious spoof turns tradition on its head and delivers a fresh dose of holiday cheer throughout Little Lake’s intimate, 135-seat theatre-in-the-round-style theatre.
Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge is showing Thursdays – Sundays between December 4 – 21. We recommend buying tickets ASAP, as some shows are already sold out!
