The Soapbox Players are broke. So for the 20th year, they are putting on their tried and true Dickens' A Christmas Carol. However, the company's National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) grant is being withheld pending an artistic review. When Wayne Wellacre gives an impossibly bad audition, the cast and crew mistake him for the NEA inspector in disguise and hilariously terrible things happen.

This play, presented by the troupe Perimeter Productions, is part The Inspector General, part A Christmas Carol, with a smidge of Noises Off sprinkled on top of this everything-that-can-go-wrong-does comedy.

Tickets may be purchased at the MICA College Store. Reservations for tickets to be picked up and purchased at the performance  may be made by sending an e-mail with name, date of performance and number of tickets needed to events@mica.edu.
