An Inclusive Adaptation of ‘A Charlie Blue Christmas,’ graciously sponsored by United Arts of Central Florida and The Ritz Theatre/ Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center. This beloved holiday classic has been adapted to celebrate individuals with unique abilities, with an inclusive plot twist rewritten by C2D founder: Nicole Warren, C2D Director: Lauren Hoefer, and C2D ambassador: Hayley Treen and production assistant director, Angel Stumberg.

In this special holiday inclusive adaptation inspired by the ‘Charlie Brown Christmas;’ our C2D Charlie Blue finds himself feeling sad and lost despite the onset of the cheerful and exciting holiday season. Lilly suggests he direct a neighborhood Christmas play, but his best efforts are ignored and mocked by his peers when he chooses a real, but simple, Christmas tree as a centerpiece. After a supportive group of friends share their feelings of what Christmas should be about, the neighborhood decorates the tree as a Christmas gift to Charlie Blue to show him that LOVE is the true meaning of Christmas. Our diverse cast of uniquely abled performers are ready to brighten your soul and bring into living reality the holiday season of love, appreciation, and cheer. Join us for our 2nd annual Winter Production as we celebrate a season of Love and community of Inclusion!
