Our Holiday offering this year is a fun romp through satire-land with Who’s Holiday! by Matthew Lombardo. This show is fun, sassy, classy, crazy and off the hook all in one!! There is music, and audience participation, and Dr Seuss jokes a plenty! It runs an Hour and 10 min without intermission, and if you work in the Music, Film, or Theater Arts you can purchase one of our $10 tickets for this riot of a show! (non industry tix are $15) There aren’t many chances to see it so try to catch it if you can, you will be very glad you did!

Watch the promo video for this great show below and come support local arts this month!

Happy Holidays to you from all of us at Casabuena!

Critical Acclaim for other productions of Who’s Holiday: 
“In Matthew Lombardo’s one-woman show, Cindy Lou Who is all grown up — and she isn’t quite the adorable child you remember from Dr. Seuss’s classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Chronicling the years that have passed since Cindy caught the Grinch in her living room, Lombardo’s seventy-minute comedy, spoken entirely in rhyming couplets, is a comic tour de force.” —Carey Purcell, The Village Voice

“… a comical riot, shining with moxie-laden tastelessness and irreverence. [Cindy Lou] engages front row audience members, sings with gutsy verve and even raps a bit. After an hour of lunacy, a sweet, sentiment ending is added, sending audience members off with a warm smile and probably exhausted from laughter.” —Michael Dale, Broadway World

 

The 5 short films we screened at Allens Lane with the short plays, are now on our YouTube channel here! Shot over the last 5 years, these shorts show how far we have come as film makers and feature original music, and performances by our Company Members, and Youth Company Member…some of whom are now Company Members! Check them out!
