The Blank is back! Rapid Fire Theatre’s annual holiday tradition returns to the stage in December 2024. THE BLANK WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS is a somewhat-familiar but always original improvised take on the holiday classic by a similar name.

In this original Christmas musical, a cast of performers have memorized all their lines and rehearsed all their choreography, just to have it all ruined at a moment’s notice. In each performance of THE BLANK the main character is played by a different guest improviser playing a character of their choice. The main character hasn’t rehearsed with the rest of the cast and doesn’t know any of their lines. The cast doesn’t know who is crashing their performance until the moment it happens live on stage!

There are three versions of the show for various age groups and sensitivities;

Nice (all ages)

Safe for everyone! No swearing, and the Blank is going to be someone selected just for kids. Previous “Nice” Blanks include Barbie, Batman and Jack Skellington.

Naughty (14+ discretion advised)

You’ll hear some bad words, and you can expect some adult humour. Previous “Naughty” Blanks include The Devil, Gollum and Bob & Doug Mackenzie.

Nasty (18+)

Bad words guaranteed, and you’ll probably see some stuff that makes you blush. Previous “Nasty” Blanks include Scarface & Austin Powers.
