Dad's Garage invades Bedford Falls and the Hertz Stage, where the audience plays a part in each night's invasion.

The award-winning Dad's Garage Ensemble will be parodying the quintessential Christmas story It's a Wonderful Life. You'll see your favorite characters acting in ways that might not be so familiar as Dad's Garage improvisers create a whole new holiday experience right before your very eyes. Every evening the audience will choose a new "invader" (who is a complete surprise to the cast and can be anything from a big purple monster to Beyoncé) to infiltrate the world of George Bailey and Bedford Falls. What would Christmas be like if George never existed and Beyoncé came to town? It's up to the cast to keep the story on track, and things are guaranteed to get crazy!
