"...nothing is sacred here. Santa, Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Frosty: Be prepared for our most iconic holiday characters to be skewered beyond recognition." —Wendell Brock for the AJC

Get the kids a babysitter and tell granny you'll take her to see some other show, because this season the Alliance presents the most family-unfriendly holiday show to come from the insane brains behind Dad's Garage Theatre: Merry #%!*ing Christmas. If you're tired of manufactured holiday cheer and would rather gouge your eye out with a candy cane than see White Christmas again, this is the show for you.

In this world premiere production, Santa's gift-giving mania has destabilized the world economy, global warming threatens to reduce Frosty to a puddle, and an unlikely duo must team up to save Christmas: Ebenezer Scrooge and a single dad in an ugly sweater. Dad's Garage once again brings you an epic holiday mash-up full of split second character changes, live music, and their trademark irreverent humor. So if you think Santa's consumerism might be the death of us all, or that Frosty may be the only one who's motivated enough to tackle climate change, or that Scrooge probably did master the art of time travel, then come on down to the Alliance and laugh until it Hertz.
