OFC Creations is presenting A Golden Girls Christmas Carol The Musical from December 4 through 31, 2020. Based on the 1980s sitcom, The Golden Girls are played by a cast of male actors with a new storyline.
The story is set in the present day and follows Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose, who are excited to finally get out of quarantine and get glammed up for the Miami Community Center’s Christmas Pageant. However, Sophia is grouchy from being cooped up and dishes out some zingers while refusing to embrace the holiday season. Forced to face her selfish ways, she encounters three celebrity ghosts who lead her through her past, present, and future. The three spirits attempt to fill Sophia with the Christmas spirit and get her to the pageant. The musical comedy will feature a range of parody holiday tunes sharing what is sure to be a very golden Christmas.
OFC Creations presented Thank You For Being A Friend: The Golden Girls Musical in April 2019 with three weekends of sold-out shows. A Golden Girls Christmas Carol stars the same actors, reprising their roles – Hunter Ekberg as Rose, Shawn Gray as Sophia, Eric Vaughn Johnson as Dorothy, and Eric Schutt as Blanche.
Live performances are tentatively planned for December 4 through 31, 2020, depending on NYS regulations surrounding COVID-19. Virtual streamed performances will be available on the same dates and times, regardless, for audiences to watch from home.
If live performances occur, the theatre will be limited to 50 attendees in the HEPA-filtered center. Masks are required throughout the center except while eating and drinking. Attendees will have at least four seats between them and another party, and when possible, attendees will receive their “own” row in the center. Food and bar service will be brought to attendees’ seats to limit congestion at the bar, and thorough cleaning and disinfecting of the full center will take place before and after the event with many hand sanitizing stations.
Virtual performances are scheduled for Friday, December 4 at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, December 5 at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, December 6 at 2 p.m.; Friday, December 11 at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, December 12 at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, December 13 at 2 p.m.; Friday, December 18 at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, December 19 at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, December 20 at 2 p.m.; Tuesday, December 29 at 7:30 p.m.; Wednesday, December 30 at 7:30 p.m.; and Thursday, December 31 at 9 p.m.
