Concrete Christmas

Join us for Concrete Christmas!

Get into the holiday spirit at the American Repertory Theater of WNY on December 11, 2025 at 7:30 PM (Eastern Time).

A lonely busker plays on cold city street corner as the hustle & bustle of Holiday traffic passes them by. But, perhaps with some sort of celestial knowledge or just dumb luck, a Holiday song they strum stops a passerby and gives them pause to reflect how the song plays a part of their life: present, past or future.

Tasked with creating a short plays from Christmas Carols and Holiday songs, "Concrete Christmas" features the creative writing talents of Donna Hoke, Camilla Maxwell, Michael Fanelli, Mark C LLoyd, Billy Horn, Rosemarie Lorenti, Justin Karcher, j Snodgrass, and Matthew LaChiusa.

The Artie-nominated director duo Catherine Burkhart and Mariangela Mercurio (ART/WNY 2024's short-play showcase "London Calling") oversees an incredible talented cast including Katie Buckler, Michael Busaco, Jay Byron, Shelby McNulty-DeCaro, Suzanne Hibbard, John Kehoe, Devin Klumpp, Jo O'Donnell, Askshat Sharma, Nick Winger, and Andrew Zuccari.

From Dec 11th to Dec 20th, this two-week Holiday limited engagement will be a great way to bring in the season cheer. Special ticket deals for Holiday date night or an co-workers night out celebration.

All showtimes are Thursdays & Fridays at 7:30 pm and Saturdays at 5:00 pm. The Dec 17th, Wednesday night performance is at 7:30 pm
