Award-winning Dad's Garage original that twists A Christmas Carol by blending improv with scripted theatre and a surprise new character each night.
Dad's Garage brings back Invasion: Christmas Carol this winter, running from November 27 through December 30 at 569 Ezzard St SE. Previews kick off a bit earlier on November 23 and 24, so if you want to get in before the holiday rush, those are your best bet.
It's a Dad's Garage original that takes Charles Dickens's holiday classic and turns it on its head, blending improv with traditional scripted theatre. The core of the show is the one you know—Scrooge and his ghosts—but the twist is that in every single performance, Scrooge's Dickensian world is visited by a new, wacky surprise character. The cast doesn't even know who's coming, which means they're figuring it out on the fly right along with the audience. Past invaders have run the gamut from Ripley from Alien and Scrooge McDuck from Ducktales to the MCU's Thanos, William Shakespeare, and Macho Man Randy Savage. It's an award-winning show conceived by Travis Sharp and written by the ensemble, performed by the Dad's Garage Ensemble.
There are a few special nights to keep in mind if you're picking a date.
