This hysterical comedy was written by a Michigan playwright and is full of Kalamazoo references!
A professional woman running in the fast lane of the big city corporate world journeys back to her smalltown on a mission for her boss. When she runs into a handsome acquaintance from high school, she’s forced to evaluate her life and priorities. Hot cocoa, light parades, and romance collide. Hilarity ensues. A Very Kalamazoo Christmas is a holiday movie parody that will make your season complete!
The American Sign Language interpreted performance is on Friday, November 28th. ASL performances are generously sponsored by Barbara Rider and Fred Sammons.
