A Christmas Carole Petersen

There’s no denying the power of the holidays to bring out the best and worst in all of us. Acclaimed actor and storyteller Tod Petersen reflects on yuletide seasons spent with his family in Mankato, Minnesota, and pays particular tribute to the show’s namesake–his mother Carole. This hilarious and heart-warming show is written by Petersen and Peter Rothstein, Theater Latté Da’s former artistic director and co-founder.
