A VHS Christmas Carol

Book, Music, and Lyrics by Clark Baxtresser
Originally Produced by Team StarKid

Directed by Tabby Oliver

December 4–13, 2026

Live musical performance by the Elizabethton Community Theatre.

Suggested Rating: PG
Recommended for families, teens, and adults. Contains mild thematic elements, standard ghost-story spookiness, and some mild, non-vulgar 1980s-style attitude. Highly accessible for general

A synth-filled retelling of Charles Dickens’s classic holiday tale, set in the 1800s but blasted with pure 1980s music video aesthetics!

Join the greediest geezer in town, miserly tycoon Ebenezer Scrooge, on a high-energy journey through Christmases past, present, and future. Can he discover that "Christmas Electricity" and find the capacity to change before it's too late?

Originally produced by Team StarKid and featuring a brilliant, entirely sung-through score by Clark Baxtresser, A VHS Christmas Carol serves up a "synth-elating" blend of holiday nostalgia, over-the-top camp, heartfelt power ballads, and danceable beats. It’s a radical holiday tradition the entire family will love!
