Not feeling the holly-jolly this year? Perfect.
Hilo Community Players invites you to Bah Humbug! — the late-night holiday romp for anyone who side-eyes carolers and feels personally victimized by jingle bells. This delightfully snarky celebration embraces the cozy chaos of the season without demanding cheerfulness from anyone who’d rather stay cool, calm, and lightly frosty.
Expect sharp humor, witty songs, and a snowman with enough attitude to power the whole North Pole. Whether you adore the holidays or merely tolerate them with stylish sunglasses and a sigh, this show gives you permission to laugh your way through the season.
