We’re closing out 2023 and an amazing Season 2 of Stage Combat with a holiday bang!

It’s THE STAGE COMBAT HOLIDAY SPECIAL! Get your Santa mug out and fill it with hot chocolate and settle in. We’ve got an hour of holiday music and stories as Sean pops around the country to share  holiday greetings with some of our favorite guests from two seasons of Stage Combat!

No matter what holiday you celebrate, let’s celebrate each other!

And there’s a special announcement about Stage Combat at the end of the episode!

Special thanks to Rebecca Caine, Courtney Loving, Alex Griffitt, Ellen Warner, Dr. Alisa Hurwitz, Brian Sheppard, LaQuet Sharnell Pringle, Dr. Michelle Sherman, Ian Southwood.

Content note:  We were so excited chatting about the movie White Christmas in this episode  that we  erroneously stated Donald O’Connor starred with Bing Crosby in the film. Thanks to listener Abby for pointing out that  it was actually the incredible Danny Kaye!
