Every Christmas Story Ever Told: Irreverent Christmas Comedy
Stage Theatre (San Jose, CA)
Santa Claus and just about every other Christmas character in pop culture history make an appearance in this fast-moving, irreverent comedy, in which three actors decide that rather than perform A Christmas Carol once again, they'll retell Every Christmas Story Ever Told in 90 minutes. Using costumes, special effects and, of course, their wits, they take holiday cheer to the extreme.

Went to the 2pm Sunday showing and had a great time. The three actors are very talented and engaging, Kevin with his radio announcer voice, Martin with his facial expressions and Colin with his George Constanza dry, droll humor. The first half, they go through the litany of BHC, beloved holiday classic movies and shows, you will recognize them all. Then the second half, they go through both It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol at the same time. Then they end the show with a song of our old fave holiday songs. Was a little slow in some parts and engaging audience participation in others. Was a fun afternoon.
Street parking only, metered.
Offer cookies and hot and cold drinks.
All seats are good, around a 300 seat venue.
3 women's stalls in the bathroom.

While I thought the play was funny and entertaining, I think I was most impressed by the venue. I'd never been to this theatre before, it was small and intimate, and the perfect place for this play!

The 3 performers were very entertaining. They played out all of the Christmas carols roles very well. Very professional actors and the song at the end was the best. I bought these tickets for my husband and he enjoyed it.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, and you can find him and just about every other Christmas character in pop culture history in this fast-moving, irreverent comedy, in which three actors decide that rather than perform A Christmas Carol for the umpteenth time, they’ll retell Every Christmas Story Ever Told in 90 minutes. The trio covers everything from a non-religious version of "Silent Night" to a non-copyrighted version of “Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer” -- renamed “Gustav the Green-nosed Reingoat” -- throwing in tributes to the Grinch, Frosty the Snowman, A Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s a Wonderful Life along the way. Using costumes, special effects and, of course, their wits, they take holiday cheer to the extreme.
