Seasonal silliness is in full swing Dec. 9 through 11 at Kelsey Theatre on the campus of Mercer County Community College, 1200 Old Trenton Road in West Windsor, N.J.
MTM Players presents the comedy, “The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge,” in which playwright Mark Brown takes the “happily ever after” component of “A Christmas Carol” to an entirely new, ridiculously funny level. This is a “gut-busting” comedy, a play reviewers hail as “a sequel worthy of Dickens’ approval” that will leave audiences “guffawing and cheering” according to Brown.
The hilarity begins when (just a year after his miraculous transformation) Ebenezer Scrooge reverts to his old ways. Amid plenty of mayhem and laughter, Scrooge indignantly files suit against Jacob Marley and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future for breaking and entering, kidnapping, slander, pain and suffering, attempted murder and the intentional infliction of emotional distress. They all relive the night in question as all of the characters from “A Christmas Carol” take the stand.
Tickets may be purchased at KelseyTheatre.org or 609-570-3333.
Toys for Tots gifts will be collected in the Kelsey Theatre lobby before, during and after performances.
