Holiday Hijinks with Flashpoint Theatre Company
featuring work by Ryan Kelly, Derick Loafmann, Genne Murphy, and Walt Vail

Flashpoint Theatre Company extended the invitation to local writers to share some of their more off-kilter and less conventional holiday stories with us. These stories were then given a dramatic staged reading at the opening night of The Santaland Diaries at the Society Hill Playhouse and at a special event at the Barnes and Noble in Rittenhouse Square on December 8, 2004.
