Harry Shearer and Judith Owen at The Addition

Join Harry Shearer and Judith Owen for their newly renamed "Christmas Without Tears", a reverent and irreverent antidote to to the most stressful of seasons.  A fifteen-year tradition that began in Harry and Judith's home, these annual events have evolved into a good ole' sing-along house party on stage.  The evening will feature invited performers as well as surprise guests.  You never know who might show up - this year, Joshua Kornbluth, Julia Fordham, Amy Engelhardt and Doña Oxford have all been invited - and surprise revelers are sure to make an appearance! 

Judith will dress the stage in seasonal garb - and no performer will find it possible to leave, even when their performance is over.  This is a true variety show and the grand finale is an audience sing-along of classic American Christmas carols - but with the Owen twist.

To sample what you might experience, watch this clip.

This festive romp is a throwback to simpler times and a salve for the soul as all proceeds go to local charities.  The San Francisco Mental Health Association is the sole beneficiary of this year's San Francisco show.

At San Francisco's newest venue, The Addition, Tuesday, December 16 at 8PM.

If you'd like to go backstage with Harry and Judith after the show, KALW will be hosting an exclusive reception at the venue, The Addition.  You can claim tickets and the opportunity to meet Harry and Judith by making a donation to KALW here.
