The lights are tangled, the relatives are arriving, the tree may be a little too large for the living room, and Clark Griswold is determined to have the perfect family Christmas.
What could possibly go wrong?
Join The Impossible Players for a FREE screening of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, the beloved holiday comedy starring Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold. Clark has big plans for an old-fashioned family Christmas, but those plans quickly unravel thanks to stubborn Christmas lights, unexpected houseguests, a disappointing holiday bonus, one memorable RV, and a certain uninvited squirrel.
It is festive. It is ridiculous. It is very, very Griswold.
PART OF THE CO150 FILM FESTIVAL
This special screening is presented as part of the CO150 Film Festival, a statewide celebration honoring Colorado’s 150th anniversary through film.
The festival brings together movies filmed in Colorado, stories connected to Colorado, and films featuring Colorado talent, with screenings taking place in communities across the state.
The Impossible Players are proud to take part by presenting free movie screenings and special audience experiences at the Impossible Playhouse.
And for this one, we figured nothing says “holiday celebration” quite like several thousand Christmas lights, an overloaded electrical system, visiting relatives, and Clark Griswold slowly losing his grip on Christmas.

Come spend the afternoon with us at the Impossible Playhouse and enjoy enough holiday chaos to make your own family Christmas look surprisingly normal.
Doors open 30 minutes prior to showtime.
KEN LUDWIG’S THE GAME’S AFOOT; OR HOLMES FOR THE HOLIDAYS
A holiday gathering. A house full of secrets. A murder. The game is afoot!
It’s December 1936, and Broadway star William Gillette, admired around the world for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of holiday revelry.
But the festivities take a deadly turn when one of the guests is murdered.
With everyone suddenly a suspect, Gillette assumes the persona of his famous detective and sets out to solve the crime before the killer strikes again.
Filled with comedy, twists, secrets, theatrical chaos and holiday flair, Ken Ludwig’s The Game’s Afoot; or Holmes for the Holidays is a fast-paced whodunit that mixes murder mystery with plenty of laughs.
