Festively fast and funny

Hold onto your scarves or other loose clothing and get ready to be blown away by Gordon Productions’ rendition of the hilarious 90-minute stage show, Every Christmas Story Ever Told. Joey Cruse, Gus Gordon and Johnny Molson play three actors who, after abandoning a boring Christmas program, rocket through all the holiday stories and carols you’ve ever heard as they poke fun at the zillions of television Christmas specials that fill the airwaves. Molson, Cruse and Gordon (pictured above) don crazy costumes, they sing, they deck their heads in ridiculous wigs and beards and they hope to succeed in bringing you something joyful and a little different for this year’s Christmas show.
