Spiked! — Table Salt Productions’ perennial holiday favorite — is back!

What is Spiked?  First-rate music plus sketch comedy, all mixed up in a sparkling holiday punch!  Featuring local music headliners and Brave New Workshop alums, it’s Saturday Night Live meets Mariah Carey … with cocktails!

Kick off the holiday season right, right after Thanksgiving.  Spiked! opens on Friday, November 29, and is a perfect night (or afternoon) out for you and all of your out-of-town guests.  Work off that turkey dinner with plenty of belly laughs, plus good old-fashioned hooting and hollering!  Rocking holiday songs will get you in the spirit; sweet foreign language carols will tug at your heart; and sketches that take aim at the workplace, the home — and an exploration of what exactly the family pets are getting up to — will have you rolling in the aisles!

This year's cast includes Brave New Workshop alums Jim Robinson, Katy McEwen and Joshua Will plus local sketch comedy and improv favorite Maureen Tubbs, with music from Dennis Curley (The Explainers, Country Roads), Dorian Chalmers (Church Basement Ladies, The Mancini Players), Natalie Nowytski (Orkestar Bez Ime, Follow the Firefly), Emily Judge-Becker (Ukrainian Village Band), Scott Keever (The Sweet Colleens, solo artist) and Marc Bohn (Tim Sigler, Jim Stairs Band).

Our list of guest artists is ALMOST complete — keep checking back for updates!

Friday, November 29, 2024 (7 pm, Celtic Junction Arts Center):  THREE!

“Three” is the brainchild trio of local Twin Cities’ musicians Rachel Holder, Judi Vinar and Lori Dokken.  These three artists have not only been friends for many years but have also been colleagues in a diverse array of musical groups and productions.  “Three” brings together a triad of diverse voices that are skilled in multiple styles and genres and the end product is an incredible performance that unites them into a singular sound — rich in color, character, confidence and the sonic seasoning of experience.  Three represents so many things:  past, present and future … beginning, middle and end … body, mind and soul … Rachel, Judi and Lori.
