Carole's back, and she's ready to deck the halls!  The celebrated holiday comedy returns after a seven-year hiatus. There's no denying the power of the holidays to bring out the best and worst in all of us. Acclaimed storyteller Tod Petersen reflects on the yuletide season with his family in Mankato, Minnesota, and pays particular tribute to the show's namesake—his mother Carole. Join us for the long-awaited return of this hilarious and heartwarming Latté Da original.

A Note To Parents: This production is recommended for students ages 12 and up. Our disclaimer is that if your children believe in Santa Claus when they arrive at the show, they may not when they leave.
