Seasonal Stars
A Holiday Tradition with a Twist at The Bit Theater
As the winter holiday season approaches, we all look forward to familiar traditions—Christmas songs, twinkling lights, decorating the tree, visits from Santa, time with family, and the joy of giving and receiving gifts. But what happens when those warm, familiar traditions take an unexpected turn?
WT Productions and The Bit Theater in Aurora, Illinois proudly present Seasonal Stars, a collection of six original short plays that flip holiday expectations upside down. Each story offers a fresh, funny, and sometimes darkly touching look at the most wonderful time of the year. From offbeat family gatherings to surprising acts of kindness, from bittersweet nostalgia to laugh-out-loud absurdity, Seasonal Stars shines a light on the many ways we celebrate—and survive—the holidays.
Now in its eighth year, this annual WT Productions tradition has become a fan favorite for audiences seeking something different from the usual Christmas fare. Whether you’re a lover of holiday comedies, thoughtful dramas, or unexpected twists, Seasonal Stars delivers an evening of storytelling that will make you laugh, think, and maybe even tear up a little.
