Drewmas

A Musical Holiday Tradition

RSVP

A History of Nonsense

This all started in 2008 as a party for friends to see each other after being gone for the winter holidays. And now here we are.

In 2008 two St. Louis theatre nerds planned a get-together for friends returning from visiting their families during the winter break.

We had all the makings of a good party: Musicals, Games of all sorts, a white elephant gift exchange to trade away the weird crap our families gave us because they didn’t know who we were or what we liked, and of course, cake.

The two planners of this party became friends after bonding over their shared fandom of Drew Sarich so the cake had a picture of Drew Sartich on it (because why not), and so it became known as “Drewmas” – see, totally normal.

Days Until Drewmas

Technically, Drewmas is on January 6th,
But in 2020 the founders agreed it should probably be celebrated the first Saturday after January 6th. HOWEVER, one of the regular participants has a conflict the first Saturday in January every year so now it’s typically held the 2nd Saturday in January, whether that’s the first Saturday after the 6th or not – very easy to follow 😀

So, in, 2026, Drewmas will be celebrated on Saturday, January 10th

Support Theatre & Performers

You can’t celebrate Drewmas if you don’t support theatre and performers!

Below are some places you can donate or spend money
(also, obviously you can buy tickets to your local theaters & Broadway shows).

The schedule is subject to change.

I encourage people to watch musicals legally on whatever streaming platforms they own but since I can’t screen-share while watching streaming musicals, and also because when I try to stream movies there can be a bit of a lag, I’ve made a list of boots/slime tutorials we can all watch both in-person and remotely at our convenience from our own devices so that we don’t have to worry too much about lag. You are welcome, of course, to watch musicals on any streaming platform or DVDs you have if you do not want to watch recordings, I totally get that! Don’t forget your local library probably has DVDs of musicals to check out too!!
