Just in time for The Holidays! Gremlins- The Live Holiday Parody is a 1 hour comedic parody of the 1984 movie GREMLINS. It’s the inaugural show performed, written, and directed by group of local St. Louis talent known as THE CHEROKEE STREET THEATER COMPANY Some performers in this group are alumnae of The Magic Smoking Monkeys, whose past shows we’ve covered here at We Are Movie Geeks. The Monkeys annually turned a cult film into an onstage farce and this will be in the same spirit. Gremlins- The Live Holiday Parody pokes fun and jabs at the original film by calling out its flaws, tackiness, and blatant 80’s absurdity. It is a true celebration of camp and the fantastical with a charming and semi-dark twist all with a holiday theme! Tickets are available at THE CHEROKEE STREET THEATER COMPANY website HERE or at the door for $18. Stop by the Whiskey Ring (2651 Cherokee St.) or Fortune Teller Bar (2635 Cherokee St.) for discounted ticket prices! A Facebook invite for the play can be found HERE
