Event Details
Hell in a Handbag presents the return of Christmas Dearest, their beloved holiday parody starring Joan Crawford as Scrooge.
Joan Crawford (David Cerda) returns in Handbag’s very own version of A Christmas Carol.
It’s 1953 and Joan is desperate to reignite her career with the new film, Oh, Mary!, a big splashy musical adaption of the life of the Virgin Mary. Everything has to be perfect, but the stress of surviving in Hollywood has turned Joan into a tyrant!
Even Carol Ann (Ed Jones), Joan’s faithful personal assistant is at her wit’s end. What Joan needs is a miracle, and that’s exactly what she gets when she’s visited by three ghosts who try to show Joan the error of her ways and the true meaning of the holidays.
Director: Derek Van Barham
Cast (in alphabetical order): Mark Barty (Christina) David Cerda* (Joan Crawford), Spencer Douglas Clark (Bill), Lolly Extract (Puppets) Sydney Genco (Mary, Mother of God), Caitlin Jackson* (Bette Davis), Ed Jones* (Carol Ann), Nicky Mendelsohn* (Teeny Teena), Marc Prince (Henry), Coco Sho-Nell (Vernita), Danne W. Taylor* (LB Mayer), Tyler Anthony Smith* (Olive LaLake), Maiko Terazawa (Child Joan), Marissa Williams (20’s Joan)
