The Golden Gays: Thank Yule For Being A Friend

Picture it: Pittsburgh: December, 2021

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the store, each department was dripping with Yuletide decor.  Sophia was nestled all snug in her bed, while visions of sugar prunes danced in her head.  Before traveling to spend the Holidays with their families, Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose participate in a golden gift exchange full of hilarious surprises.  Just as they get to the airport a winter storm blows in, leaving them trapped!  In an unexpected Charles Dickens twist of events, the three grannies must visit their past, present, and future to save Christmas (and find Sophia)...just in time for turkey lurkey.  Lucky audience members may even have a chance to make their stage debut and become the next #TokenSophia!

“It’s like vaudeville for the new generation!” - Rachel in Asbury Park, NJ
“They had me laughing so hard my cheeks hurt!” - Mary in Fort Lauderdale, FL
“The best show I’ve seen here in a long time.  More of this, please!” - Michael in Detroit, MI
