Join Theatre Nova for another memorable holiday adventure from the team that brought you The Year Without a Panto Claus and Sugar Plum Panto! Bring the whole family to laugh, boo, hiss, and sing in this over-the-top evening of heroes and villains, funny songs, and extreme merriment - a mixed-up mash-up of musical comedy slapstick, vaudeville, and fun. December 6 - January 5, Fri. @ 7:30pm, Sat. @ 3pm & 7:30pm, & Sun. @ 2:00 pm (Single tickets: $32 for adults, $12 for kids 16 years and under).

Founding Artistic Director Carla Milarch said, “I am elated to reach this milestone. Together, we have made it through the challenges of opening a theatre, and then a pandemic, and then RE-opening after a pandemic, and now the realities of a post-pandemic economy. Yet, here we still are! I believe it's because of how fully the Ann Arbor community has embraced us over the years. They truly are amazing. And I would put our staff and artists up against anyone in the business for creativity, artistry, and heart. The fact that we've continued to produce amazing theatre in the face of these challenges is a testament to the strength of our mission and the gumption and grit of everyone who walks through these doors each day.”
