The brainchild of Evany Rosen (Network Notes, Picnicface), The Pageant is a wildly irreverent celebration of the best - and worst - parts of the holiday season, all gift-wrapped up in a package that pays homage to the rich tradition of "very special" sitcom episodes. Each show focuses on a different family as they celebrate a completely made-up holiday and try to find true meaning of the (fictional) season. Inspired by audience suggestion, The Pageant is the perfect non-denominational winter comedy hit for friends and family. The show culminates in the classic show-within-a-show device: the staging of a holiday pageant that pulls the whole motley cast of characters together.
Directed by power duo Ashley Comeau (Chef in Your Ear) and Connor Thompson (Songbuster) and featuring Brennan Asbridge (May the Odds), Anders Yates (Uncalled For), Rob Baker (Bonspiel!), Christy Bruce (Blind Date), Carly Heffernan (Second City Mainstage), Carolina Zoccoli (Yas Kween). With musical direction by Jordan Armstrong (One Night Only) & Nicola Dempsey (flo & joan).
