12/2/17 - Peoria Cabaret Theatre brings back for the 2nd year the hit holiday comedy - THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS SHOW (ABRIDGED) starring Jimmy Lahood, Mike Reams, & Andrew Rhodenbaugh!

STORY: Welcome to the Annual Holiday Variety Show and Christmas Pageant at St. Everybody’s Non-Denominational Universalist Church, where all faiths are welcome because we’ll believe anything. But there’s a problem: none of the acts scheduled to perform have arrived, so three members are pressed into service to perform the entire Variety Show and Christmas Pageant by themselves. An irreverent yet heartwarming trip through the holidays, THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS SHOW (ABRIDGED) is festive, funny, physical, family fun as these Three Wise Guys send up and celebrate our favorite holiday traditions.
