The North Pole's 239th Annual Talent Show!
It's Christmas eve at the North Pole, and Santa's elves are off the clock and ready to cut loose! Pointless Theatre reprises their winter cabaret for adults, with new elves and acts. This irreverent celebration of the holidays features puppetry, improv, and a funky reindeer band.
RUN TIME: 60 minutes, no intermission | This show is not recommended for children.
“A quirky, irreverent cabaret show that melds humor and holiday spirit into a refreshingly original production.”
“...brilliant puppetry that re-affirms Pointless’ status as the indisputable leader of the young DC theatre scene”
“The antidote [to] your holiday malaise.”
