Topher Payne is known for a lot of things: He's an amazing actor, iconic Atlanta playwright, and an incredible storyteller. What you may not know is that he has also written a number of holiday movies for the Hallmark channel. Yep, the channel adored by midwestern soccer moms for its wholesome cheesiness.
Just in time for his (multiple) Christmas movies on Hallmark Channel this year, Topher will be leading "Improvised Hallmark Movie" at Dad's Garage. This will be the third year Payne has brought this unique format to Dad's Garage. Actors Amber Nash and Dan Triandiflou will be joining Payne to create a whole new Christmas movie before your eyes. They will be exploding the tropes of Hallmark Christmas Movies every Friday night in December!
Founded in 1995, Dad's Garage Theatre Company has grown from a small volunteer led organization to a thriving mid-size theatre led by professional artistic and administrative staff that includes over 300 volunteers and performers.
