After a two-year break, our favorite Christmas tradition is back as Invasion Christmas Carol returns to the Dad's Garage stage. This hybrid improv-scripted show turns the classic Dickens story into a hilarious, improvised mess. In addition to the story's regular cast, a new and different character visits Scrooge every evening--which is a complete surprise to the cast. We let our guest improvisers go crazy, and these invading characters could be anyone from The Incredible Hulk, to Santa Claus, to Martha Stewart. You'll see Scrooge's past, present, and future unfold in a new way each night. Watch our cast of actors try to perform the traditional Christmas Carol while trying to deal with the one improviser running around stage causing havoc. It is a beautiful disaster that you're not going to want to miss.

Ana Gasteyer is a true renaissance woman. Having been a cast member on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE for six seasons, she subverted some expectations after leaving the sketch show by going on to play Elphaba in WICKED, originating the role in Chicago's sit-down production before eventually taking her Green Girl to Broadway.
Gasteyer has also had extensive success in the concert capacity, and she is now preparing for a major milestone in any solo performer's career: her debut at the Cafe Carlyle. BroadwayWorld spoke with Gasteyer ahead of her Carlyle shows, the first of which is on October 25, about the differences between SNL and eight shows a week (both are grueling, but disparately so), why she yearns for the emotional connection of performing live, and whether or not Donald Trump makes her miss being in the trenches of live comedy.
