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.
