The tension is palpable, the excitement is mounting, and the heady scent of competition is in the air as eager contestants from across America prepare to take part in what is undoubtedly the greatest event of their lives – the Mauch Chunk Christmas Tree Decorating Contest. The festive, zany, and outright weird creations are on full display with their ruthless creators in this behind-the-scenes look “mockumentary style” into the highly competitive and cut-throat world of Christmas Tree Decorating, written by the students of the RCSA. 

Celebrate the holiday season with Raue Center School For The Arts and Mission Imagination. Our audiences will get to experience a production in which cast members, in collaboration with a creative team, collectively developed a new 60-minute piece without an existing script, with the cast members also taking on the role of performers. The process of a devised production allows our cast members to enhance their skills in collaboration, ensemble work, improv, acting, and playwriting which they then get to share with our audiences.  

Prepare to share in the laughs, the music, and much more as we bring an original holiday tale to the Raue stage!! Directed by award-winning theatre artist, Nick Hrutkay and Musically Directed by Raue Center For The Arts resident Music Director, James Mablin.

Approximate Running Time: 60-minutes
