Joe Z's "Ebenezer" at The Tipping Point

Joseph Zettelmaier (Student Productions' Writing Mentor) has written another gem, this time a sequel to "A Christmas Carol" named "Ebenezer". Another PTG staff alum, Julia Glander (A Lie Of The Mind, On The Verge, & The Heidi Chronicles Director) directed "Ebenezer", which is playing at the Tipping Point Theatre in Northville.

This play checks back in with Ebenezer Scrooge on his deathbed 15 years after he was visited by the three ghosts of Christmas and he changed his life. Detroit Free Press writer John Monaghan wrote, "Far from a humbug, 'Ebenezer' offers genuine sincerity in a tiny, beautifully wrapped package."
