Seacoast Improv Incubator Presents: A Script Reading of A Holiday Classic Featuring Dickensian Puppets

Friday December 4th, 2026 --- Doors 7pm Show starts 7:30 --- @ The Button Factory Stage

When a cold wind blows it chills you, CHILLS YA TO THE BONE. So, get out of the cold and into the Button Factory Stage to see talented local comedians from the Seacoast Improv Incubator! For one night only, they are staging a scripted reading of a classic classic holiday film about a frog and a pig troubled by a miserly British employer. While the original film (which will not be named for reasons which may or may not involve copyright law) starred puppets and Michael Caine, this rendition will star Improv Incubators who are raising funds for the local arts organization Seacoast Improv Incubator.

Seacoast Improv Incubator is putting on a live script reading of a holiday classic, but with a twist: Dickensian puppets. This isn't a traditional improv show. Instead, expect a theatrical interpretation that blends performance with comedic elements, leaning into the absurdity of puppets tackling serious literature. It's a chance to see local performers explore a familiar story through an unconventional lens. This reading happens on Friday, December 4, 2026, at 7 PM at the Button Factory Stage in Portsmouth, NH. The venue is typically intimate, which should suit the puppet-driven performance. If you appreciate creative takes on classic stories and enjoy a bit of offbeat humor, this event could be a good fit.
