UVSC Theatrical Arts Department kicks off the holiday season with the sketch comedy, “Holiday Night Live” performing December 13 and 14 in the Black Box Theater at the UVSC Orem campus at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $8 for faculty/seniors and $6 for UVSC students.
Directed by Dave Tinney, “Holiday Night Live” is performed by the Black Box Repertory Company, which is made up of more than 20 UVSC students. The show is a fast-paced series of sketches and spoofs of the holiday season.
“Tailoring to the obvious need of Christmas-lovers to unwind and enjoy a spoof of all the holiday things we adore and abhor, we took all those things that drive us crazy about the season and turned them into comical sketches,” said Tinney. “Some topics include shopping, gift-wrapping, carolers, and, of course, fruitcake.”
The show also includes music with some original songs as well as a few holiday standards. This is the second year the UVSC Theatrical Arts Department has presented the same format for their Black Box Repertory Company’s holiday performance.
“The audience response from last year was so positive that we decided to bring back the same format,” said Tinney. “The sketches are new, but it’s in the same style—comical all around.”
