This play, co-written by Josie Seid and Sara Jean Accuardi, lifts Mr. Fezziwig from the pages of A Christmas Carol to tell a story all his own. Set after the jubilant Christmas ball where we meet young Scrooge’s benevolent employer in Dickens’s tale, this story looks past Fezziwig’s merry smile to find a man who may be in need of a Christmas miracle all of his own. Fezziwig’s Fortune is an origin story about family, forgiveness, and the importance of what ties us together.

“Seid and Accuardi’s script alone is a Christmas miracle, with beautifully written lines and large themes, all combined in a coherent, compact package that explores ideas about marriage, parenthood, guilt, grief, gender roles, spirituality and the different ways we view success. Oh, and it’s very funny, too.” – Linda Fergurson, Oregon Arts Watch
