Back to the Holidays

November 23 – December 24

Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays

Doors at 6:30pm | Show at 7:30pm 

PG – Some material may not be suitable for some audiences

From Scrooges to Grinches and Krampuses to Hans Grubers, there’s something inherently funny about holiday cynics who begrudgingly give in to seasonal merriment. Back to the Holidays is an homage to Back to the Future and A Christmas Carol, and explores holidays of the past, present, and future through the lens of an eccentric scientist who is tasked with helping our hero discover the true meaning of the holidays and save the town from ruin. Where will this journey through time lead? That’s up to the audience to decide!

Show duration: 90 minutes including a 15 minute intermission.
