Please join us for a fun evening out at the WCMA Holiday Meeting on Thursday, December 11, 2025. We will be meeting at Little Lake Theater in Canonsburg to learn more about how this long standing community theater operates and then enjoy the play "Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Holiday Binge."                     Ticket cost is $35 and includes the show ticket, a cheese and fruit plate and adult beverage of your choice to enjoy during the show! Please reserve your ticket using the link below or call Jennifer Stockdale at 724-263-2664 by Friday, November 28. Please note tickets will be charged based on our registration list. If you register and do not attend, you will be invoiced for your tickets.                                                              We will also be collecting donations for Toys for Tots at this meeting. Please bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate!                                                              About the show                               This holiday season, join us for a hilariously irreverent twist on the classic A Christmas Carol with Christopher Durang's Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge. In this madcap comedy, Mrs. Cratchit has had enough of her overworked husband, their countless children, and the sentimental holiday clichés. When the Ghost of Christmas Past arrives to set things right, chaos ensues as the story takes wildly unexpected detours. Filled with sharp wit, zany characters, and laugh-out-loud moments, this uproarious spoof turns tradition on its head and delivers a fresh dose of holiday cheer. Perfect for anyone looking to shake up their holiday season with something unexpected and wildly entertaining!                                                              Meeting Date: Thursday, December 11, 2025                               Time: 6 PM, the show starts at 7 PM                                                              Location: Little Lake Theater                               500 Lakeside Drive                               Canonsburg, PA 15317
