The Fights Before Christmas

Written and Directed by Alicia Jay

December 5 @ 7:30 PM

━━━━━━━━━━━━

ABOUT THE PLAY
In The Fights Before Christmas, holiday cheer takes a hilariously combative turn as mistletoe becomes mistle-foe in this one-act comedy. Set during the most chaotic time of year, the play follows a series of escalating and absurd conflicts—between friends, family members, frantic shoppers, and even Santa’s elves—all sparked by the pressures of the season. With each scene showcasing stage combat and slapstick brawls, the play turns traditional holiday tropes on their head to reveal that the true spirit of Christmas might just be surviving the madness together. It’s festive, it’s feisty, and it’s full of flying tinsel and theatrical punches.
