There's no getting around it. From chaotic holiday travel to icy cold weather, and agonizing face-to-face family time, the holidays are tough! Not to mention the polar vortex, aggressively enthusiastic Salvation Army bell ringers, and Aunt Marge's fruit cake -- we get it! The holidays are enough to drive anyone to drink (and worse, even drive some to consume eggnog Jell-O shots. Yuck! Let Brave New Workshop's naughtier-than-nice guide to surviving all the family foibles and festivities give you that little something extra to make it through. Getting Plowed: A Holiday Survival Guide shines a hilarious spotlight on holiday traditions in a way that only the Brave New Workshop Theatre (BNW) can.
The first BNW all-holiday-themed revue premiered nearly midway through the theatre's 61-year history, and it's since become a beacon of hope and annual tradition. The mere announcement of each year's show title is a much-anticipated event for Minnesota audiences. Veteran cast members,
Lauren Anderson, Denzel Belin, Taj Ruler and
Tom Reed return to the BNW stage with a series of new, original sketches crafted to ease common holiday anxieties. Lifelong fans of the BNW need not worry. The legendary crowd favorite, the "12 Days of Christmas" musical number is back for another year of belly laughs and merriment. Side note: renowned BNW fan favorite,
Lauren Anderson (who just completed her 50th show at the BNW), marks her 16th holiday show appearance with Getting Plowed.
New this season! The BNW is proud to offer fans an all-new VIP experience. Available at select performances only, VIP Tickets include premium seating at the show, a preordered beverage from the bar and a photoshoot with the renowned BNW cast!
