About this Event

When a small-town teen unwraps the strangest Christmas present ever, all it takes is a glass of water and a late-night snack to unleash a chorus of chaos. Suddenly, the town’s overrun with mischievous, musical Gremlins who are more naughty than nice.

With 14 original songs by John-Ryan Griggs, this holiday parody is nostalgic, a little naughty, and full of bite: perfect for fans of dark comedy, ’80s pop culture, and sharp-edged musicals.

  • Directed by John-Ryan Griggs
  • Story Adapted & Executive Producer by Brad London
  • Costumes by Kellee June Korpi & John-Ryan Griggs
