New Holiday Show + MAry Jane the Musical 2!

Longshadr announces new productions for Winter 2025 and Summer 2026!

Michael Fields and Longshadr have announced two new forthcoming shows in Blue Lake, California.

YET ANOTHER NON-PROFIT CHRISTMAS CAROL | BUY TICKETS NOW (December 9-14, 2025, at the Mad River Grange - 110 Hatchery Road, Blue Lake, CA 95525) is a wild theatrical, comic, farce about a non-profit board of a theatre in great financial distress who decide to improvise their own version of a Christmas Carol to pass the time as the town is flooded and everyone is stuck in the meeting hall. A Christmas Carol as you have never seen it before.

"The premise is that a board meeting of the National Theatre of the Woods (which is in great financial distress) is trapped in the Grange when the town bridge goes out and the creek floods in the weather," says author and performer Michael Fields. "They do a wild version of A Christmas Carol together to pass the time, directed by burnt out artistic director, Tommy Titlinger (everyone calls him "tittie"). Christmas Carol, that non-profit "go to" that always helps raise the bottom line has never had an interpretation like this one."

Directed by Roman Sanchez, written by Michael Fields, with Fields acting in the role of the burnt out artistic director (such a stretch).

MARY JANE THE MUSICAL #2: THE GRANDSON (Summer 2026 - Dell'Arte International Baduwa't Festival) Written by Michael Fields, with songs crowd sourced from the community, co-directed by Roman Sanchez and Michael Fields. This will be a co-production with Dell'Arte and will be part of the 2026 Badua't Festival in June 2026.

The original Mary Jane the Musical, featuring the iconic Joan Schirle in the title role, opened in 2011. It has been 15 years. The world of cannabis has had the ground shift under it. A new generation is shouldering the effort. Mary Jane's grandson is the at the center of it all. A musical for our times and place. The songs and the stories will be crowd sourced from the community.

Look for announcements of how to submit material to come.
