A Very Phoenix Xmas 13: Merry Superstitious

It’s the 13^th season for this annual holiday tradition! A Very Phoenix Xmas 13: Merry Superstitious is a marvelous mix of music, sketch comedy, and dance that’s a celebration of all the holidays that make the winter months so magical. Ben Asaykwee, artistic director of Q Artistry, brings his prodigious talents as a director to this year’s production. Phoenix Playwright-in-residence Tom Horan curates the script submissions for the sketches that can exceed 60 to 70 submissions for the coveted seven or eight sketch slots in the two-act, two-hour production.

A Very Phoenix Xmas is a rowdy, raucous way to celebrate the holidays outside of the traditional holiday fare. In previous iterations, the Phoenix holiday show has paid homage to Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa as well as reflected the political and social climate of the moment. In the style of Saturday Night Live, A Very Phoenix Xmas brings together the very best of sketch comedy with traditional songs of the holidays as well as original musical creations.

Many of Indianapolis’ most beloved theater artists have preformed in the Phoenix holiday show. Each season, the cast of the holiday show has included Phoenix Theatre veterans as well as artists who work in many other theater musical venues around the city. This year’s cast is all women! Don’t miss this wonderful holiday production that is powerful antidote to the traditional holiday offerings.
