Description of project: One of CPT's most popular holiday entertainments is BACK! Hailed as "a deliciously demented feast for the holidays" by The Plain Dealer, this hilarious musical performance includes crazy cabaret, comedy, dancing, game-show competitions, violence, and a five-course meal. The performers originate, cook, and serve the feast, using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients - each course served through musical and choreographed sequences. Conni's Avant Garde Restaurant: A Snowball's Chance is an eclectic, bizarre, and delightful night at the theatre that will have you laughing well into 2019. NOT to be missed. World Premiere.
