Christmas with the Crawfords
2023-12-01 19:30 - 21:30 | Brüka Theatre, 99 North Virginia Street, Reno, NV, 89501
Brüka celebrates the holidays with pure Hollywood camp presenting Christmas with the Crawfords. This hilarious cult classic is based on an actual Christmas Eve live radio broadcast from Joan Crawford’s Brentwood mansion in 1949. Filled with exaggerated silver screen icons, this mash-up musical parody is a loving homage to Hollywood’s “Golden Age” and features appearances of Tinsel Town divas such as Judy Garland, Carmen Miranda, Gloria Swanson, Hedda Hopper, Ethel Merman, and the Andrews Sisters. Christmas With The Crawfords is a delightful alternative to the usual saccharine fare offered during the holidays and is guaranteed to make anyone who sees it feel much better about their own family at any time of year.
