Creative Loafing Atlanta

Director Jennifer Acker and Producing Director Paul Conroy share the inside dish on Out Front Theatre's production of Christmas With The Crawfords. This riotous theatrical spoof is based on the actual Christmas Eve live radio broadcast Holly legend Joan Crawford made from her Brentwood mansion on December 24, 1949. Judy Garland, Carmen Miranda, Gloria Swanson, Hedda Hopper, Ethel Merman, and the Andrews Sisters all make grand entrances, belt out holiday songs and spit out over-the-top one liners.
