Coronado Playhouse presents holiday hilarity with

Mistletoe, Music & Mayhem

December 11-December 21, 2014
Benefiting the Hearts for San Diego Community Shoe Drive
The most wonderful time of the year rolls into Coronado Playhouse featuring the
locally written holiday hit, Mistletoe, Music & Mayhem! With book by Matt Thompson
and Phil Johnson and music and lyrics by Rayme Sciaroni, this musical mish mash of
sketches and original songs cures the holiday blues and puts you on the right list with
Santa. Mistletoe, Music & Mayhem is staged in our intimate cabaret style theatre with
performances to fit any holiday schedule playing weekends December 11-December 21,
2014. The show runs approximately 85 minutes and is performed without intermission.
Mistletoe, Music & Mayhem is filled with outrageous scenes of holiday traditions
around the world and an irreverent tribute to Santa Claus along with a twist on some
Christmas classics. The production is family friendly although parents should use
discretion with children 10 years of age and younger. Laugh at the meowing group of
singing carolers, the Jewish boy explaining Hanukah to a nun and see what happens when
jolly Old Saint Nic uses his GPS device to deliver presents.
This production was born in 2011 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana
Beach when a director, comedian and published author collaborated to create the ultimate
Christmas musical review. The efforts of Matt Thompson, Phil Johnson and Rayme
Sciaroni have quickly become a San Diego County holiday tradition with the show
playing to sold out audiences at North Coast Rep, Ocean Beach Playhouse and now
Coronado Playhouse, the Community's Theatre.
During the production, Coronado Playhouse is partnering with the Hearts for San
Diego Community Shoe Drive. The joint effort will raise money for local charities and

help those in need this holiday season. We are collecting ALL kinds of footwear for men,
women and children in ANY condition, including ice and roller skates! Buy tickets and
drop off your shoe donations when you come to the show. For more information on how
to help please visit www.HeartsForSD.org.
Cast members who are featured in multiple roles include Jacob Davis, Linda
Kullmann, Tatiana Mac, Wilfred Paloma and Meredith Russo with musical
accompaniment by Kirk Valles. The production is directed by Rayme Sciaroni and codirector Desha Crownover and produced by Katy Skyrud.
