Ready for a night of laughs, lasagna, and a little holiday chaos? The Southeast Region Faculty Frost Fest Dinner Theater is coming to Genitti’s Hole in the Wall in Northville, Michigan, on December 28, 2024. This interactive comedy show will have you giggling over your cannoli as you join the quirky staff of Genitti High School for their hilariously derailed holiday party.
What’s the Frost Fest All About?
Genitti High School’s staff—the proud home of the Fighting Geese (cue the honking)—is trying to celebrate their last day before the holiday break. But, as with any good comedy, things don’t go as planned. A sick choir, a nosy superintendent, and an untimely fire drill threaten to derail their festive spirit. The result? It's a laugh-out-loud interactive comedy where you might find yourself smack dab in the middle of the action.
The show is brought to you by Genitti’s Hole in the Wall, a Northville institution known for its quirky charm and family-style Italian dinners. Whether you’re a theater enthusiast or just someone who enjoys a good laugh over great food, this event is a must-see.
The Venue: Genitti’s Hole in the Wall
Located at 108 East Main Street, Genitti’s Hole in the Wall has been a Northville landmark since 1971. Originally a meat and grocery store, it evolved into a restaurant in 1979 when owners John and Toni knocked out a literal hole in the wall to expand their business. Since then, it has grown into one of the area’s most beloved spots for dinner theater.
Genitti’s is famous for its seven-course Italian dinners that are served family-style. Think Italian wedding soup, antipasto salad, pasta dishes galore, sausage with peppers and onions, Italian steak with potatoes, baked chicken with zucchini, and cannoli for dessert. It’s like being invited to an old-school Italian wedding—except here, you also get to enjoy live entertainment.
What Makes This Event Special?
The Faculty Frost Fest isn’t just dinner and a show—it’s an experience. The interactive nature of the performance means that audience members can play along with the cast. Whether you’re dragged into a scene or simply watching from your seat while enjoying your meal, you’ll feel like part of the story.
And let’s not forget about the price: at just $30 per person for dinner and entertainment, it’s an unbeatable deal. But be warned—tickets are limited! Make sure to grab yours before they’re gone.
