Uptown Players presents the world premiere of a new holiday comedy starring one of its most outrageous original creations—Carol Ann Knipple. First seen in When Pigs Fly, Carol Ann is a small-town theatrical dynamo with boundless energy, offbeat charm, and a blissful lack of taste. When her cherished Minnesota theater, The Melody Barn, tragically burns to the ground, Carol Ann refuses to let the curtain fall. She grabs her glitter, her cast list, and her half-finished script, and heads to Dallas to stage her long-dreamed-of Christmas pageant… at a theater she’s never heard of, but that seems oddly enthusiastic about.

What follows is a delightful whirlwind of casting confusion, scenic surprises, and a production that veers hilariously off course—but somehow finds its heart in the most unexpected places. Featuring timeless holiday classics and a few reimagined musical numbers that might make your tinsel tingle, this laugh-out-loud seasonal revue is both a tribute to community and a celebration of theatrical resilience.

With Micah Green reprising his role as the ever-undaunted Carol Ann, this show offers plenty of holiday cheer with just the right dash of chaos. Come join the fun—and find out what happens when a determined woman with a glitter glue gun lands in the middle of a very different kind of theater.
