Milking Christmas
by Brian Huther, Ben Auxier, Seth Macchi, and Ryan McCall
Macey Maid-a-Milking seems to be the only person in all of Christmastown to sense that something strange is going on; toys are coming out wrong, soldiers are out in force, and there must be an awful lot of naughty children, because coal production is higher than ever. Driven by a mission to keep the holiday perfect, she soon finds herself in a lot of trouble - with the future of Christmas hanging in the balance.
The Living Room produced the second version of Milking Christmas in November - December of 2018, after having premiered the original the previous year.
“This show is truly something special Kansas City gets to experience on its own for now, so lap it up, before it becomes one of those shows that’s happening in every major city.”
- Jason Epperson, PerformInk
