For their 18th annual holiday offering, The Troubies have combined the soulful sounds of songstress Carole King with one of the most enduring stories of our time – Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” – and the result is SO FAR AWAY from what you'd expect! Will Ebenezer Scrooge wake up ONE FINE DAY feeling like a NATURAL WOMAN and finally BELIEVE IN HUMANITY? Will he break his CHAINS and be shown what’s truly BEAUTIFUL, and discover he has a CORAZON before IT’S TOO LATE, BABY? Will Tiny Tim go UP ON THE ROOF and ask, WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW? This December do the LOCOMOTION, (or the NoHo Metro) to the El Portal Theatre for many happy tidings of comfort and joy. Prepare for the rockin’ sounds of the Troubadorchestra to make you FEEL THE EARTH MOVE UNDER YOUR FEET! Experience the Holi-daze like never before, because, this magical season, YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND in the Troubies!

Award-winning comedian & magician, Chipper Lowell (Masters of Illusion) has been described as an "artistic cyclone of talent and comedy" by the press. The red head's best known "skills" can usually be found onstage, doling out witty remarks, presenting bizarre feats of original magic, ad-libbing with audience members who can't stop laughing, attempting pointless juggling stunts, pulling a seemingly endless barrage of unusual thing-a-ma-bobs and gadgets out of his prop trunks, and in short, creating a wonderful eventing of high-energy laughs and amazement for all those in attendance. (How's THAT for a run-on sentence? You're welcome!)
