This December the Overtime Theater will stage its first holiday variety show. With a little heart and a lot of holiday bawdiness, "Christmastime at the Overtime" will be an Overtime original for those who like their holiday programming heaped with laughter.
It seems like Santa has lost his Christmas spirit this year and it's up to one loyal elf to save him. How? By showing him a variety of acts and scenes that showcase the many different aspects of the holiday season.
"Christmastime at the Overtime" will be a fun, fast-moving show that includes music, magic, dancing, adult-themed comedy sketches, and a brand new short film introducing the soon-to-be-classic-holiday-character, Scorpey Claus!

About the Overtime Theater
In business since 2007, the Overtime Theater is dedicated to providing innovative and accessible entertainment at an affordable price. The shows are all new, original works, or unconventional adaptations of old classics. The Overtime Theater specializes in world premieres of works never before seen on stage!
In just three years, the Overtime has produced over 30 new shows, including four original musicals: Sheer Bloody Lunacy!, Pirates Vs. Ninjas, The Brain That Wouldn't Die: A New Musical, and Dr. "S" Battles the Sex-Crazed Reefer Zombies: The Movie: The Musical. Other notable productions have included The Good Samaritan, Poet Faustus, Sob! Choke...LOVE!, Action Philosophers, and most recently, the world premieres in 2010 of The Hard Bargain, The Happy Couple, The Life & Death of the Amazing Captain Piledriver, The Last Broadcast of Bailey & Long, and Broken Record. The Overtime Theater also collaborates with local visual artists, giving them a prominent local space in which to display their works in the Blue Star Complex.
The Overtime Theater has now moved to non-profit status as determined by the IRS. This decision has been made to extend the Overtime's mission of "art for the people" to the greater community, including through low-cost workshops in acting, playwriting, comedy improv skills, and art by working professionals.
