Mamma Dearest! Here We Joan Again: a camp Christmas with Joan Crawford at the Ringwald
Christina Crawford wants to find her birth mother, and the trail points to Bette Davis, Judy Garland and Eartha Kitt, so the only logical move is to invite all three for Christmas. Blake Fountain's camp holiday comedy Mamma Dearest! Here We Joan Again plays The Ringwald Theatre in Ferndale (290 West Nine Mile Road) on Monday, December 7, 2026, at 7 p.m.. Tickets from $25.
The holidays are supposed to be about peace, joy and goodwill, unless Joan Crawford is involved. Christina Crawford is determined to find out who her birth mother is, and a trail of scandalous diary entries points to not one but three icons: Bette Davis, Judy Garland and Eartha Kitt. The obvious fix? Invite them all over for Christmas.
The Ringwald Theatre presents Blake Fountain's wildly camp holiday comedy: old Hollywood rivalries, razor-sharp wit, dazzling musical numbers, overflowing martinis and enough family dysfunction to make your own celebrations look downright tame. It's also a glittery toast to chosen family. The theater is at 290 West Nine Mile Road in Ferndale; tickets are $25 for Monday shows and $35 Friday through Sunday.
