Humbug: ‘The Most Miserable Christmas Tree’ on stage at Fort Hamilton

This fun-filled musical, “The Most Miserable Christmas Tree,” is brightening the stage at the Fort Hamilton Army Base Theater on Dec. 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11.

Presented by the Narrows Community Theater, this production centers on a Christmas tree named Douglas Fir. Douglas enthusiastically tells the audience about the joys of being decorated and his happiest days leading up to Christmas. Unfortunately, on Dec. 26, Douglas is soon stripped of adornment, thrown to the curb, and left in a pile of trash. Determined to remain a decorated Christmas tree, Douglas heads back home to Mistletoe Mountain and Miss Balsam’s Finishing School for Christmas Trees to get the diploma he never received. Douglas only succeeds in becoming more miserable and turns his back on Christmas until an important discovery allows him to understand his true purpose and the real meaning of the holiday season.

“The Most Miserable Christmas Tree,” Dec. 2, 3, 9, and 10 at 8 pm; Dec. 3, 4, 10, and 11 at 2 pm. Tickets $25, $20 for seniors and students, and $15 for children under 12.

Visitors must present proper ID for admittance onto the base.
