History
The first Saturday Night Special happened on 3/8/08. It started out running on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month at 10:30pm. Then the following February, Gnap! Theater Projects restructured its schedule, expanding to include 8pm and 10pm shows on both Friday and Saturday. At that point, The Saturday Night Special became a weekly show that ran every Saturday at 10pm.
On Dec. 19, 2009 there was a wedding proposal on stage during the Saturday Night Special. One of the troupe members of Hugaday proposed to his then girlfriend. She said yes.
