Back for its 3rd year, Holiday! An Improvised Musical is the festive favorite you didn’t know you needed! Inspired by Stephen Sondheim’s Company, this one-of-a-kind musical party is entirely made up on the spot, sparked by your suggestions. Watch as a wildly talented cast creates a dazzling night of improvised vignettes exploring love, work, relationships – and the true meaning of the holiday season. No two shows are ever the same because every night is a new musical. It’s the only holiday celebration that guarantees laughs, surprises, and a whole lot of heart.
