A Very Improv Holiday: White Elephant Blitz (with opener by Baggage Claim)

Joy! Mirth! Togetherness! Laughter is the reason for this season of improv performances.

Nothing could possibly go wrong during the holidays, right?

In White Elephant Blitz, a cast of all-star improvisers from WIT’s company ensembles offers everyone the gift of holiday hilarity and surprise!

Taking inspiration from Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Festivus, and other year-end celebrations, we’re serving up mirth, merriment, and the magic of improv during 10 special performances from Dec. 6 to 29.

Every show presents a different combination of holiday vibes — from Whoville to Bedford Falls and from The Nutcracker Suite to Hallmark Holiday movies — but with a Grinch-y twist for those in the audience whose mood is decidedly more “Bah Humbug” than “Fa, la, la, la, la.”

Of course, this is improv, so the audience will play a critical role in every performance as our players race against the clock to preserve the holiday spirit, including fun opportunities for audience participation and interaction that you won’t find elsewhere.

However you feel about the holidays, we’ll have plenty of laughter and good cheer (mixed with a helping of satire and a dash of snark).

The talented, all-Black improv troupe Baggage Claim will open this show.

White Elephant Blitz Cast (not all cast will appear in each show): Krystal Ali, Samiyyah Ali, John Carroll, Mark Chalfant, Robin Doody, Madeline Dozier, Patrick Fleury, Meredith Garagiola, Jonah Gordon, Paul Hitlin, Liz Hoke, Dennis Johnson, Jamie Lantinen, Adam Levine, Nick Martinez, Ryan McClure, Jordana Mishory, Clare Mulligan, Eli Okun, Kelsey Peters, Joe Randazzo, Stanley Seiden, Greer Smith, Bethany Stokes, Kate Symes, Anna Claire Walker, Elise Webb
