THE LOUSH SISTERS Extend Run

Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) is proud to present the return of The Loush Sisters - a martini-loving, naughty-but-nice-comedic duo - in their latest original show, The Loush Sisters get HARD for the Holidays (Yippie-Kai-Yay Mother-Loushers). The production is onstage from November 24 through December 23 at CPT's historic Gordon Square Theatre.

This holiday season, the infamous sisters are BACK! This time, taking matters into their own hands... wink wink. Join Holly and Jolly Loush (aka The Loush Sisters) for their deeply anticipated return to the stage in a bawdy, boozy, over-the-top holiday cabaret. Fueled by song, sidekicks and a hefty dose of "holiday cheer," The Loush Sisters battle villains and attempt to avert disaster in this radical satirization of America's favorite holiday classic... Die Hard. Recommended for mature audiences.

Created and performed by Conway and Wood (with co-creator Michael Seevers, Jr.), "The Loush Sisters" made their first major onstage appearance in 2011 in a ribald one-act called The Loush Sisters: Making the Yuletide Gay and returned in 2013 with a full-length work entitled The Loush Sisters DO the Nutcracker, and a full-length production in 2015 entitled The Loush Sisters Love Dick'ns: Great Expectations.
