A Snowy Kiss
Since 2019, Minneapolis improv group jorts! has brought their trademark sketch-show energy and holiday cheer to the stage with a show unlike any other:
A Totally Improvised Hallmark Christmas Movie.
Back at Strike Theater for its 6th year, this completely improvised show captures the cozy chaos of the holiday movies you love -- Hallmark, Lifetime, Netflix -- and makes up a brand-new one right before your eyes, complete with live, improvised piano accompaniment.
