Bag&Baggage Productions Proudly Presents...

Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)

December 3-20, 2026 The Vault Theater & Event Space

Summary

Three actors. 90 minutes. Every Christmas story ever written.

What could possibly go wrong?

Michael Carleton, James FitzGerald, and John K. Alvarez’s gloriously unhinged Christmas comedy is exactly what it sounds like;  A Christmas Carol. Rudolph. It’s a Wonderful Life. The Grinch. All of it, and more, crammed into a single evening by three increasingly desperate performers who absolutely, without question have bitten off more than they can chew.

Rapid-fire parody, breakneck costume changes, and a festive frenzy that is Bag&Baggage doing the holidays the only way we know how: hilariously. 

Whether you love the holidays, love laughing at them, or both, this one’s for you. (It’s both, really. It’s for sure both.)
