A Very Special Ladies and Gentlemen Christmas Special — a fully-improvised musical comedy for the holidays!
Every night, the players combine your suggestions with live music and the spirit of such holiday classics as White Christmas, Miracle On 34th Street, and It’s A Wonderful Life.

Come celebrate the holidays with A Very Special Ladies and Gentlemen Christmas Special! And who knows, maybe you’ll learn the true meaning of Christmas! (Hint: It’s not fruitcake.)
