Continuing our special run of Christmas and Holiday-themed shows, we are proud to present: The Holiday Spirit by Will Anderson

Synopsis: During an argument between two hobos, Clay and Hobo Joe, about Clay's claims of having been a country music star, Clay's dog, Tyger, gets injured. In steps a vet who takes Tyger to his clinic. The celebration of successful surgery is interrupted when local business bully Snerdly storms in, demanding the rent payment for the clinic by five o'clock that evening. Will the formerly famous Golden Voice of the High Plains be able to save the clinic – especially after Snerdly informs them of an injunction by Song-Pluggers Incorporated, against Clay playing his old material? Make a great new family tradition with this fun, heartwarming (and slightly subversive) Holiday tale!
