(HACKENSACK, NJ) -- The Hackensack Performing Arts Center presents Howdy Stranger's Annual Holiday Spectacle on Saturday, December 16, 2023 at 8:00pm. Expect a not-so silent night of improv comedy, spiked for the season.
You’ll be laughing all the way in this sleigh ride of a show, featuring interactive improv games popularized by the tv show, “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” but with a Christmas twist. Bring your merriest ideas and shout them out to inspire EVERY scene.
Tickets are $25 and available for purchase online. NOTE: Howdy Stranger shows are family-friendly but parents are cautioned there may be adult themes unsuitable for young children.
