“The Office” meets “Project Runway!” With carols, cocktails, and a company on the brink, it’s the holiday party you actually want to attend!
The Ugly Xmas Sweater Musical is a laugh-out-loud, interactive, hysterically funny holiday musical that’s guaranteed to thrill audiences and warm hearts. Regalia Uniforms is under siege by an international conglomerate. The only way to save the company is to design the best ugly Xmas sweater ever. Get in the spirit, wear your ugliest Xmas sweaters, and bring your family, friends, and work colleagues to the perfect holiday season night out at the Playhouse!
