Not everyone is lucky enough to have the exact people they would like to spend the holidays with. In "Rented Christmas," a man decides not to rent a tree or decorations for his Christmas celebration, but a whole family to celebrate the season with. Middle-aged bachelor John Dale challenges the proprietor of a local rent shop, Anne Weston, to hire actors to play his family. However when the actors fall ill, Anne must assume the role of John's wife herself. "Rented Christmas" will be performed by Spectrum Showstoppers, performers from Spectrum's music education, music therapy, art, and theater departments.

"Rented Christmas" takes place on Tuesday, December 15, at MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Avenue. 6 p.m. Tickets are $6 per person and can be purchased online at muccc.org or by calling 866-811-4111.
