Comedy Troupe 30 Minute Musicals Parodies Home Alone in Hilarious Holiday Mash-Up at Sierra Madre Playhouse, Dec. 6, 7, 14

Presented by Sierra Madre Playhouse

The acclaimed comedy troupe 30 Minute Musicals (30MM) presents, with tongue-in-cheek charm, a hilarious musical mash-up of Home Alone, condensed into a rapid-fire, music-packed distillation of the cult-classic holiday film at Sierra Madre Playhouse for three performances, December 6, 7, and 14, 2025, at 7:30 pm. The fun fast paced show, which adheres to the film’s story, includes humorous song parodies, spot on character moments, and unexpected touches of improv. The Home Alone holiday spectacular is a clever comedic treat that appeals to both movie lovers and musical theatre fans alike.

Mirroring the movie theater experience, the show even kicks off with live film "trailers" before the Home Alone musical parody begins.

Formed in 2011, 30MM takes beloved cult classic films, distills them into 30 minute musicals, adapts them with original songs and witty dialogue, and performs them live with energy, audience interaction, and theatrical flair. The ensemble’s productions — ranging from Top Gun to Ghostbusters — are praised for their sharp comedic timing, clever musical mash ups, and up close immersion.

Sierra Madre Playhouse, a vibrant Southern California cultural hub with a rich history spanning a century, energizes audiences and the community with distinctive theatrical productions and captivating live performances. 

 

Hailed as a “jewel” (Pasadena Weekly) and “a landmark theater” (ABC7 Los Angeles), it has garnered tremendous accolades for its varied repertoire and thought-provoking education and outreach programs curated with social impact in mind. The Los Angeles Times proclaims, “This is theater from the heart.” As one of San Gabriel Valley’s only performing arts center presenting a broad spectrum of performance genres, including theater, music, dance, film, comedy, and family-friendly productions featuring eminent local and national professional artists, the treasured artistic beacon draws audiences from across the Southland. 

 

The intimate 99-seat Sierra Madre Playhouse offers an up-close and personal connection to performances that resonate deeply, earning multiple Ovation Awards, NAACP Awards, and LA Times Critics' Choice honors. In 2023, Rep. Judy Chu named the Sierra Madre Playhouse as a leading ‘Nonprofit of the Year’ in the San Gabriel Valley. The playhouse was given the honor during the 2023 Congressional Leadership of the Year Awards, which recognizes the leadership and volunteerism in the cities making up California’s 28th Congressional District. It is nestled into a historic building on the inviting Main Street of Sierra Madre, a charming village in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. 

 

Retaining its distinctive movie theater façade and instantly recognizable marquee, the structure has undergone numerous transformations since opening in 1910, from furniture emporium to silent movie theatre to the artistic institution that now stands as a vibrant embodiment of the region’s rich cultural legacy. The Sierra Madre Playhouse fosters creativity that aspires to bridge divides and spark dialogue, all while celebrating the rich tapestry of the American experience and the enduring pursuit of shared understanding.
