Rippy reports from Merrimack Repertory Theatre in Lowell, MA where the Reduced Shakespeare Company have just premiered their 8th new stage show, The Ultimate Christmas Show (abridged). This video update is dedicated to the awesome staff at MRT.

According to Dan Berube, MRT Marketing Manager, the Reduced Shakespeare Company just set MRT’s all-time pre-opening box office record.
