Invasion: Christmas Carol
Returning Black Friday
Nov 27—Dec 30
Previews: Nov 23 and 24
Replace your regular holiday tradition with a Dad's Garage tradition: kicking classic theatre in the tookus! The award-winning Dad's Garage ensemble skewers and twists the quintessential holiday play, A Christmas Carol, in our Dad’s Garage original show, Invasion: Christmas Carol!
In addition to the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet-to-Come, Scrooge and the rest of his Dickensian universe is visited by a new, wacky surprise character in each performance (past invaders include Alien’s Ripley, Ducktales’ Scrooge McDuck, The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Thanos, William Shakespeare, and Macho Man Randy Savage?!) that even the cast members can’t predict! Come watch Scrooge's past, present, and future unfold in a new and unpredictable way each night!
SCANDAL! The Bare
Closing Nov. 6 @ 8 p.m.
Comedy-drama The Bear won Emmys and Golden Globes for comedy, but Dad’s Garage dares to delve into the question plaguing the minds of erudite television gourmands everywhere:
What if The Bear actually was a comedy?
Presenting: SCANDAL! The Bare—a lovingly absurd and spoofish take-off on the critically acclaimed television hit that sounds like it has the same title as our spoof, but doesn’t actually.
You’re Invited!
November 5, 12, and 19
Thursdays @ 8 p.m.
We don’t know what we’re celebrating until after the show starts!
You’re Invited! is an improv show that celebrates the unsung heroes of your calendar. Haven’t got any Arbor Day traditions? Not sure what to do for Presidents’ Day? What about National Jellybean Day? Don’t worry—we’ll celebrate it together…just as soon as you choose what the holiday even is.
Once you make your choice, our improvisers will set the scene and figure out how to put on the best darned improv comedy celebration ever—all while having no clue what it is while you stay in on the secret.
The Dad’s Garage lobby opens one hour before the show for all patrons.
Interested in improv, stand up, and sketch, but not sure where to start? Sign up for a six-week class at DGU and make new friends while having the time of your life!
