STRIKING TWELVE
Flat Rock Playhouse
12/5-12/22/2012
On New Year's eve, an over-worked and under-inspired single guy who's had enough of holiday cheer makes a resolution: to stay home and go to bed early. On another New Year's eve, a continent away � and more than a century earlier � Hans Christian Andersen's Little Match girl tries unsuccessfully to sell her matches in the snow. The two stories are brought together when a young woman selling special "full-spectrum holiday light bulbs to combat Seasonal Affective Disorder" shows up at the grumpy man's door. This exciting alternative to the typical holiday show features amazing, modern holiday music performed live in a show that will have The Playhouse Downtown buzzing.
