Scrooge and Booze: A Perfect Pair

A Christmas Carol: Drunk After Dark is heading to the bar! With a show full of Christmas spirits, where better to tell the tale then one of Maryland's finest bars, serving craft beers on their beautifully renovated second floor.
The Toast Worthy Theater Company is proud to partner with Smoketown Brewing in what will be a landmark performance, debuting live-theater in the beautiful upstairs performance venue for the first time. This effort aims to lay the groundwork for ongoing community theater in the region, opening up acting and production opportunities for the artists of Brunswick.

A Show Full of Christmas Spirits

If you’re looking for a show that blends heart with hilarity and Scrooge with booze look no further! A Christmas Carol: Drunk After Dark is an award-winning retelling of a Scrooge’s ghostly guided tour. It follows Frederick, the sole relative of Scrooge and our inebriated narrator, as he attempts to cobble together his uncle’s utterly absurd story. From the various visions of Scrooge‘s life, to the strange spirits he met along the way, you’ll watch as Frederick and his friend, Benjamin, attempt to make heads or tails of the classic tale. All while the story’s specifics are scrambled and the characters become caricatures, resulting in a show full of crude humor and Dickens jokes that will leave (im)mature audiences in stitches!

Screw You, Scrooge

A "scrooge" is defined as "a miserly person" according to Merriam-Webster. Synonyms of "miserly" include greedy, selfish, mean, and stingy. But, in today's desensitized world, we'd just call him an a**hole. This show is, to quote the narrator, "rough around the edges" and "a tad bit risque." But, nowadays, there's no beating around the bush: rich people deserve to be made fun of. They kind of deserve it. Ebenezer Scrooge, though long dead and fictional, is no exception, and A Christmas Carol: Drunk After Dark gives audiences excuses to laugh at the old geezer as he gets kicked around by the cast!

This Show is a Real Winner

The ACT Black Box Studio first produced A Christmas Carol: Drunk After Dark in 2024, which was met with great success! And this debut performance would go on to win the 2025 Broadway World - Baltimore Region award for Best New Play or Musical.
