CSUF Theatre to Present INSPECTING CAROL, 11/22-12/15

California State University, Fullerton's Department of Theatre and Dance delivers holiday fun with the cheery A Christmas Carolsatire, Inspecting Carol, by Daniel Sullivan in the Young Theatre of the Clayes Performing Arts Center from November 22-December 15, 2013. Directed by College of the Arts Dean Joseph Arnold, this crowd-pleasing alternative to endless Christmas Carol productions was inspired by a real life incident of a theatre director who tried to bribe an inspector of the National Endowment for the Arts. Author Daniel Sullivan built a plot around this idea while combining it with a small theatre's struggle to produce Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol. A case of mistaken identity wrapped up in bundle of laughs, Inspecting Carol delivers a uniquely modern version of A Christmas Carol.

The cast of Inspecting Carol includes Shawnia Keith, Jordan Kubat, Amanda Arbues, Natalie Beisner, Jake LaRosa, Lacey Beegun, Jack Riordan, Tim Alexander, Zach Yeates, Chayan Tavakoly, BrIan Brennan, and Vivian Thi.
