Press information tells us “This ain’t the show you saw last year, so buckle up for a wild ride. Where a Cult just might find Christmas amid some off-label, prescription drug use. Follow Stuart and Paulette on a wild holiday adventure from North Park to Pleasant Grove and back. This is NOT your mother’s Christmas Carol. It’s your grandparent’s Solstice.”
“You could also title the show, ‘A Wild and Wacky Ride on the Longest Night of the Year,’” Director Vickie Washington joked. “Stuart and Paulette, everyone’s favorite characters from 2017’s Solstice, return for hijinks in the woods. It’s very different from last year’s show, and it’s set right here in Dallas. You’ll never believe what Jonathan Norton has pulled from his imagination for this script, but you definitely don’t want to miss it!”
