This year, a very modern holiday tale called Decked! closes out Ten Fifteen's 2024 season, a rollicking, kooky black comedy. It's been described as “throwing It’s a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol into a cocktail shaker with some bourbon and sleeping pills.”

Decked! Takes place on Christmas Eve. Celia’s only child, Kit, confesses that she would rather live with her dad and his much younger partner beginning tonight, which also happens to be the couple’s wedding night.

Celia is soon left alone, feeling powerless and enraged, turning to alcohol and pills to escape her pain. Eventually, her eccentric sister Louise shows up to help her out of her despair. In a drug-induced state, (is she dead? or just tripping?) Celia wakes up in an alternate dimension where the sisters review her past, present, and potential future.


It's a nod to classics like It’s a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol, but with an all-female troupe digging into themes of letting go and moving on.

Decked! Was written by Ginna Hoben is directed by Deanna Duplechain.

Dates and times: December 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, 19th, 20th, and 21st 7:30 pm - December 8th and 15th at 3:30 pm. Tickets are $25, and are available online at www.thetenfifteentheater.com.

Ten Fifteen Theater is at 1015 Commercial St. Astoria, Oregon

Also happening in the north Oregon coast town for the holidays is 2024 Winter Bazaar & Craft Fair on December 7.
