Who's Holiday

Starring Chaney Moore
Directed by Sloane Teagle
You saw her last when she was just two
Celebrate the holidays with Cindy Lou Who.
Pull up a seat and fill up your cup
‘Cause your favorite little Who is all grown up.
Who's Holiday! Is a wildly funny and heartfelt adults-only comedy that tells the story of Cindy Lou Who, now all grown up and residing in a beaten-down trailer in the snowy hills of Mount Crumpit, as she recalls (in between bong rips) that Christmas Eve she first met the Grinch and the twisted turn of events her life has now taken.
Starring in this hilarious one-woman show is Houston favorite, Chaney Moore. Chaney returns to The Garden Theatre stage after appearing in 2022's White Rabbit Red Rabbit and 2024's Who's Holiday!. She has appeared on stages across Houston including Main Street Theater, Stages, The Catastrophic Theatre, and The Ensemble Theatre. Chaney is also a company member of Strangebird Immersive and has numerous film, TV, and voice over credits to her name.
Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical
Created By Jordan Ross and Lindsey Rosin
Based On the Film By Roger Kumble
December 26, 2025-January 11, 2026
At MATCH (Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston)
Based on the iconic film starring Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe and Sarah Michelle Geller, Cruel Intentions: The ’90s Musical pulls you into the manipulative world of Manhattan’s most dangerous liaisons: Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil. Fueled by revenge and passion, the diabolically charming step-siblings place a bet on whether or not Sebastian can deflower their incoming headmaster’s daughter, Annette Hargrove. As the two set out to destroy the innocent girl— and anyone else who gets in their way — they find themselves playing a perilous game with only one rule: Never fall in love.
Featuring your favorite throwback hits by artists like Boyz II Men, Christina Aguilera, REM, 'NSYNC, and, of course, Britney Spears, this sexy, hilarious, and so-very-cruel musical is “the ultimate night out” (Entertainment Weekly).
