Spend This Holiday Season With Defiance!

It’s Christmas Eve, and a crew of wanted criminals fresh off of a jail break set their sights on the ultimate heist—a small-town toy store.

Everything was going according to plan until the store’s employees catch wind of a highly valuable item hidden in their very store! Throw in a die-hard regular customer and a cranky Karen and see how this feisty heist-y holiday musical will keep you guessing.

It’s giving joyful, it’s giving action-packed, it’s giving more Christmas spirit than you can shake a candy cane at. From Defiance Comedy, creators of The North Wing, Claus Out, and Camp Summer Camp, this is the holiday event you never saw coming!
