Artpark goes online with improv icons and ‘Christmas Vacation’ reunion

Ready to meet the Griswalds again this Christmas?

How about more from the “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” guys.

Artpark is making both possible over the next few weeks as part of its livestream series.

The Lewiston, N.Y., arts venue — unable to present concerts or events all summer because of the pandemic — will partner with content studio Mills Entertainment to present “Stream of Consciousness” with Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood.

The “Whose Line Is it Anyway” duo will interact with a live audience via Zoom for three shows, Dec. 5, 13 and 19. They’ll react to audience suggestions for an online version of their recent show “Scared Shirtless.”

Passes per performance are limited to 200, with each ticket allowing access on one device. Passes are $35 (U.S.) per device, with a VIP option for $75 that includes a digital download of the “Out of the Box” special and a mailer with exclusive items.

But before Mochrie and Sherwood will be a live reunion of “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” stars Chevy Chase and Beverly D’angelo this Saturday at 8 p.m. The couple, who played Clark and Ellen Griswald throughout the “Vacation” franchise, will answer fan questions and revisit memories from the classic holiday comedy.

Tickets are $25 per device with a portion of sales to benefit the Artpark Live campaign to help Artpark offset the damage caused by COVID-19.

Unable to stage events all summer, including its popular outdoor concert series, Artpark lost more than 80 per cent of its annual revenue this year, which the park said “will be felt for years to come.”

Tickets to the livestream events are available at artpark.net.
