More Than a Conversation for Christmas

The Clyde Fitch Report: This November will mark the thirty-eighth year the Goodman has presented A Christmas Carol. Joined by Hell in a Handbag’s ninth annual Christmas show, the fourth year of Profiles’s Hellcab, and numerous others, it’s fair to say that Chicago theater has a long-held and well-loved tradition of the holiday show. This holiday season, emerging Chicago playwright Dakota Parobek will add their voice to this tradition, with their play Merry Christmas, Mulch Pile! receiving a one week run with Mercy Street Theatre. The play features all the good cheer one would expect for a Christmas play, but with the hope of providing an experience that will change us all year long.
