Hard Candy Christmas: Crashing Through the Snow
December 7 - 21 at Fez

Direct from an extended, sold out run of their hit show Ravaged by Romance at LaMama, a collective of downtown artists present the holiday extravaganza, Hard Candy Christmas: Crashing Through The Snow. Created by and starring Chris Tanner and Brandon Olson featuring an all-star line up of downtown’s most acclaimed and unusual performers, performances begin December 7th at Fez.

Join the Tourettes family for a Crystal Meth fueled holiday hootenanny at Uncle Meemaws. Talking Christmas trees, pyramid schemes, and singing fire places are just the beginning of the hijinks this year! Plus, there’s something special in the egg nog at Meemaw’s place to give everyone that extra boost as they wait up for Santa Claus. This musical extravaganza features songs including "Talking S**t Around the Christmas Tree," " Pipe Dreaming of a White Christmas" and "Mary had a little Meth."
