ABOUT A CHRISTMAS SURVIVAL GUIDE
If you enjoyed The Bikinis last season, you’ll love this musical revue about the holiday season, written by New York City-based producers Ray Roderick and James Hindman of Miracle Or 2 Productions, Inc. Armed with a copy of A Christmas Survival Guide and an optimistic attitude, the characters charge into an urban holiday landscape searching for the true essence of Christmas. In songs and vignettes, they learn to cope with the season in ways that are both hilarious and heartwarming.
