24-Hour Musical Livestream:
Holiday Edition!
Saturday, 11/30 @ noon to Sunday, 12/1 @ noon
24 HOURS. 6 WRITERS. 1 MUSICAL. 0 SLEEP.
The Livestream is back! This time, Thicket & Thistle will write a heartwarming (maybe) holiday musical… in 24 hours. If you haven’t joined us for one of these before, you’re in for a treat. Watch the creative process unfold in all its madness & glory and chat with company members as we stay up all night to write the greatest holiday musical of our time.
GET INVOLVED
Your ideas count! We take suggestions from our viewers LIVE and incorporate them into the story as it’s being written. Since the holiday spirit is about giving, you can donate a small amount to name a character, write a silly line, or even give us a song title and we’ll write it. As the day progresses, you’ll have the option to troll us with oven mitts, silent discos, eggnog and more. We know what we’re attempting is difficult. We want YOU to make it impossible!
Short on cash? Don’t worry about a thing. The holidays are about togetherness, so follow along, leave a comment, and interact with T&T in real time. It’s a blast!
How Do I Get Involved?
