@ Studio5 in Evanston

Presented by The Practical Theatre Company & Studio5

Sunday February 4, 2024 @ 7:00PM

Back by popular demand, our wildly successful Ho-Ho-Holiday Revue returns for a reprise performance for ONE NIGHT ONLY! If you were among those who couldn’t attend our New Years run – and we heard from quite a few of you – here's that chance you thought you'd never have! Or come again and bring your friends! The exact same cast of characters will bring you all the mirth and melody you need to kick start 2024. And for those of you not in our area, you can stream the performance online! Ticket information for the online stream can be found below.

The Practical Theater Company is back with another comedic holiday revue in their inimitable style!

The PTC’s “Ho-Ho-Holiday Revue” is a throwback to the TV variety shows of the 1960’s and early 70’s, featuring sketch comedy, improvisation, stand-up comedy, and lots of great music in an evening of sophisticated adult fun. With adult beverages available, of course!

The “Ho-Ho-Holiday Revue” stars PTC improv comedy veterans Paul Barrosse, Victoria Zielinski, and Dana Olsen, backed by The Studio5 All-Stars -- a great jazz quartet led by keyboard virtuoso (and Studio5 impresario) Steve Rashid. Adding to the fun are dynamic vocalist Ms. Maura and stand-up comedian Emilia Barrosse, whose writing credits include HBO’s VEEP.

With a variety of comedy sketches, original songs, and holiday standards presented like you’ve never heard them before, the Ho-Ho-Holiday Revue is a smart comic cocktail, mixing marriage, mother-daughter relationships, the Greek gods, the Supreme Court, thoughts and prayers, Judge Judy vs. Donald Trump, and select, classic PTC sketches. 

Plus upbeat, soulful music that will make it hard to resist dancing in the aisles.

Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase.
