Looking to add some spontaneous, side-splitting fun to your holiday season? STAAR Theatre at Antoinette Hall in Pulaski is thrilled to present the Ugly Sweater Christmas Improv show on December 14 at 7 p.m. Grab your friends, family and especially your ugliest holiday sweater to join us for an evening of hilarious improv comedy and festive cheer.
The show is directed by improv veteran Michael McEvilly, who brings over 20 years of experience from both the Southern California and Tennessee improv scenes. Michael has worked with top teachers from LA’s premier theaters, including the Upright Citizens Brigade, Spectacles Improv Engine, The Pack Theater and IO West. Under his expert direction, this improv event promises to be packed with wit, whimsy and unscripted holiday hilarity.
For those unfamiliar with improv, here’s the scoop: it’s a type of performance where actors create scenes, characters and jokes entirely on the spot – no scripts, no rehearsals, just pure, spontaneous fun. The audience might even have a chance to get in on the act, as performers take suggestions from the crowd to create scenes that are as unpredictable as they are entertaining. Every show is a one-of-a-kind experience, fueled by the creativity of the performers and the energy of the audience.
As an added holiday twist, wear your ugliest sweater and join the fun! Not only will it add to the festive atmosphere, but you’ll also have a chance to win a pair of tickets to an upcoming STAAR Theatre production. So dig out that neon green reindeer cardigan or glitter-covered holiday vest for your shot at the prize.
Tickets for the Ugly Sweater Christmas Improv are just $12 for general admission and are available for purchase online. This is the perfect opportunity to get into the holiday spirit with friends, family, or even a first date—it’s guaranteed to be a night of laughter, fun, and memories.
So, mark your calendar for December 14 at 7 p.m., throw on your best (or worst) holiday sweater and join us for an unforgettable night at STAAR Theatre. Get ready to laugh, cheer and celebrate the season with a little holiday improv magic!
