Tipping Point Theatre continues its 16th theatrical season with the Southeast Michigan premiere of A Very Northville Christmas by Robert Hawlmark and directed by Williamston Theatre’s John Lepard. A professional woman running in the fast lane of the big city corporate world journeys back to her hometown of Northville, Michigan, on a mission for her boss. When she runs into a handsome acquaintance from high school, she’s forced to evaluate her life and priorities. Hot cocoa, light parades and romance collide. This side-splitting spoof is for every Hallmark movie lover, hater and everyone in between. It’s full of small-town charm, big-city dreams, romance and family life all set in charming downtown Northville; a Hawlmark original! “Audiences should expect to laugh uncontrollably,” states director John Lepard. “This play is special because it blends the heartwarming spirit of Hallmark movies with the ridiculous humor of plays like The 39 Steps and Irma Vep. Part of the fun for the audience is seeing if the actors can keep up with the split-second costume changes while staying in character. You never know what might happen on any given performance.”
Tipping Point Theatre is at 361 E Cady St, Northville, MI.

The Tipping Point is that one dramatic moment in an epidemic when everything can change all at once…and we’ve reached it in a BIG way! From operating as a “vagabond” theatre company under the umbrella of the Parks and Recreation department, performing in any empty space we could get our hands on and paying actors with smiles and applause – we opened in 2007 with big changes – tipping point changes! Incorporated as a professional, non-profit 501(c)3 organization in the state of Michigan, Tipping Point Theatre opened its doors as a professional Equity theatre company in our permanent facility in downtown Northville. TPT is currently under the direction of James R. Kuhl and led by Board President Nannette Ret. Join us in fulfilling our mission by continued participation as an audience member, actor, designer, donor and advocate for theatre in Michigan. Looking forward to seeing you “at the Point!”
