Step into the enchanting world of The Hoarderculturalist, where Mr. Barley, a quirky and stubborn farmer, invites you on a magical journey through his whimsical garden in this wondrous tale inspired by A Christmas Carol.

Watch as Mr. Barley’s stubbornness to keep his garden’s bounty all to himself leads to hilarious mishaps and a mountain of wasted food. But when his garden starts to wilt, and with a little help from the audience and some unforgettable characters, Mr. Barley discovers the joy of sharing.

It’s an interactive adventure full of fun, laughter, and a heartfelt message about the power of sharing and caring for our environment! Get ready to join in with games, take a stroll through the garden paths (wear your best walking shoes!), and enjoy delicious snacks at the end of the journey. Tasting will be gluten, diary and nut free, includes raw fruit and vegetables.

As the holiday season approaches, take a page from Mr. Barley's journey—just like Scrooge discovered in A Christmas Carol, the true magic of the season lies in generosity and sharing. Don’t miss this heartwarming adventure that will leave you full of cheer!

Extend your family fun and stay to enjoy our spectacular Christmas light and sound show after the performance.
