Summary: Filled with Christmas excitement, Rhonda and her mother set out for some quick and easy last-minute errands on Christmas Eve. Or so they think. Over the course of the day, they're forced to confront disgruntled employees, a post office brawl, a sour Santa, a toy store stampede, and more. Will they ever make it home safely and with their Christmas spirit intact? Christmas Eve Chaos is a humorous look at a hectic holiday.
NOTE: Rehearsals will begin week of October 16. Show opens on December 7 and runs Thursday through Sunday, December 7-17, with two shows on Saturdays.
