Over-the-top characters, a bisexual love triangle and heated political conversations all come to a head when a snowstorm forces the Pinnunziato family indoors this holiday season. Fan favorite characters Anthony Pinnunziato and Aunt Toniann are just a few of the ingredients in this Big Gay Italian Christmas lasagna.

Tickets start at $49 and are available for purchase online.
