IMMEDIATE RELEASE: THE MILLENNIAL THEATRE COMPANY ANNOUNCES THE RETURN OF THE HIT ADULTS-ONLY HOLIDAY COMEDY, WHO'S HOLIDAY AT HOPEWELL THEATRE TO OPEN THIS WEEKEND!
by The Millennial Theatre Company 01 Dec '25

01 Dec '25

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 1, 2025 Millennial Theatre Company's Who’s Holiday Returns for Limited 4 Performance Run At Hopewell Theatre! YOUNGSTOWN, OH – The Millennial Theatre Company (MTC) is excited to announce the return of its hit adults-only holiday comedy, WHO’S HOLIDAY, at Hopewell Theatre (702 Mahoning Ave, Youngstown, OH 44512) for 4 performances only! Friday December 5, Saturday December 6, Friday December 12, and Saturday December 13. All performances are at 7:30pm, with tickets available at millennialtheatre.org. WHO’S HOLIDAY tells the story of Cindy Lou Who, 30 years after the events of The Grinch. Cindy is now in exile from Whoville. A series of bad decisions led her to destitution on Mt. Crumpit, then prison, and finally, the trailer she resides in today. WHO’S HOLIDAY is a wildly funny and heartfelt adults-only comedy, narrated entirely in rhyme by an adult Cindy, as she recalls that Christmas Eve she first met the Grinch and the twisted turn of events her life has now taken. Brandy Johanntges stars as Cindy Lou Who. Director Joe Asente said that MTC is excited to bring this hilarious comedy back for 2025 after a sold-out run in 2024, “We obviously knew this show was funny and that if audiences took a chance on something new, they would fall in love with this show. We always hope that people come out for these lesser-known titles, but I don’t think anyone on our team expected the response that we received last year for this show. Every performance was sold out, and the crowds went absolutely nuts for this show. We had so many people reach out to us, both those who attended and those who were unable to get tickets, asking us to bring this show back for one more year. We are thrilled to bring this production back for four more chances to see this hilarious, raunchy, and heart-felt production!” Asente continued, “If you are a fan of the grinch, adult-oriented comedy, inappropriate jokes, and laughing until you cry, this is truly the show for you. We all love the classics during the holidays, but I think Youngstown audiences are also always looking to expand their entertainment intake this time of year. With this zany, adults-only take on a childhood classic, this production has just the right amount of nostalgia to that fuzzy, warm Christmas from your youth while still giving audiences a chance to laugh and enjoy all the humor that comes along with the season as well.” The production is directed by Joe Asente. Tickets start at $20 and are available online at www.millennialtheatre.org. For promotional photos, please click Here <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lK2dEMxgc4zrp2TF4F8E_EEeXuFzWw0g?us…> .
