Trip: A Christmas For Carol

Tuesday, November 17th

Departing at 9:45am, Returning at 6:00pm

To Newport Playhouse & Cabaret Theater in Newport, RI

 

Start with a delicious, all you can eat, buffet lunch featuring a large selection with all foods prepared onsite.  After lunch, enjoy the hilarious performance of A Christmas For Carol.  Following the show, return to your seat in the dining room for dessert, drinks and a fun-filled Holiday Cabaret Show!

During the holiday season, Carol tends to take Christmas way too far at work with decorations, presents, and overbearing traditions that not everyone appreciates in the office.  Her co-workers love Carol, but this time of year she gets on everyone’s last nerve, so they formulate a plan for the company party that night!  With wacky office hijinks, pranks, and even an office romance, will her co-workers be able to help Carol remember the true meaning of Christmas?

COST: $92 per person includes charter bus transportation, fabulous buffet lunch, matinee performance of “A Christmas For Carol”, and Holiday Cabaret Show.  Driver tip is not included.
