Christmas Dinner Theatre

Each December, Forest Springs puts on a full-length theatrical performance, accompanied by a multi-course gourmet meal. Each gospel-centric script is written and produced by Forest Springs staff member, Matt Hoffland, and is performed by our staff and members of our local community.

The Old Man Christmas Show

December 2026

The Old Man Christmas Show follows the Musto Gusto Boys, a once randomly-recognized Vaudeville revue troupe whose career was suddenly cut short by a mysterious falling-out between two of its members. 

Now, in the winter of their years, after decades of estrangement, an irresistible opportunity presents itself; a local retirement village in need of a Christmas Show!  Can the Boys bury enough of the hatchet and muster the Gusto necessary to bring Holiday joy to the bald and blue-haired masses (without burying themselves in the process)?  The result is a funny, nostalgic, and heartfelt Christmas story about friendship, forgiveness, and second chances.
