WHO'S HOLIDAY Comes to Theater Wit This Month

Cindy Lou Who, now 40, holds court from her trailer home, retelling the story of the sordid events after she met the Grinch in Who's Holiday!, Theater Wit's smash hit holiday show, back for the season, November 24-December 30. Opening is Friday, November 24 at 7 p.m.

Chicago theater star Veronica Garza returns to her Jeff-nominated role as Cindy Lou Who, who, in R-rated Seussian rhyme, welcomes audiences inside her trailer home, plies them with snacks and shots, and ultimately shares the untold story of the twisted turns her life took following her Christmas Eve encounter with a green furry outcast.

That director is Christopher Pazdernik, who returns to direct Wit's third outing of this hilarious, heartfelt holiday comedy by Matthew Lombardo. Also back is Angela Weber Miller's Jeff Award-winning, Seuss-inspired recreation of Cindy Lou Who's holiday-bedazzled mobile home. Designers include Shelley Strasser, lights; Uriel Gomez, costumes; Lonnae Hickman, props, and Matthew R. Chase, sound and production manager.
