Experience the Christmas Spirit for One Hour with Sugar Plum Gary

“Does anyone have a question about Christmas?”

Emmett Montgomery’s Sugar Plum Gary answered this year’s first show’s batch of questions in the sold-out space at 18^th & Union on the night of Friday the 15^th. The beloved character has returned to the stage to share the true meaning of Christmas as December 25^th approaches: the fully gut-wrenching truth only the sole survivor of Santa’s visit to the Rankin Bass Home for Unfortunate Children could fully grasp.

Sugar Plum Gary-Returns to 18th and Union

A Santanist in Bright Red Feet Pajamas brings Christmas cheer

A holiday tradition at 18th & Union, Sugar Plum Gary returns with his eighth annual show of Cosmic Christmas Horror for the whole family.
A gentle-hearted “Santanist,” Sugar Plum Gary is a bushy-bearded man in jolly footie pajamas who has been haunted by the Holiday Spirit ever since he experienced the real Santa, an ancient and sinister creature more Lovecraft than Dickens. Every day is literally Christmas for Gary, and through improvisational conversation with the audience he shares the real reason for the season.
