Sandy Actors Theatre Presents A NICE FAMILY CHRISTMAS
On Friday, November 24th, Phil Olson’s A Nice Family Christmas will open at Sandy Actors Theatre, with performances continuing every Friday and Saturday evening at 7:30 pm and Sunday afternoons at 2:00 pm through December 17th.
It’s Christmas Eve, and a young newspaper reporter on the brink of being fired has been assigned a last-chance story about a typical family Christmas – his family’s Christmas.
He goes home to his recently widowed mother, his crazy uncle, his eccentric grandmother, and his battling siblings and their neurotic spouses, who provide no shortage of material.
One by one, we learn each family member’s secrets, problems, and dysfunctions, and when they learn that he’s writing an article with some very personal family information, the fruitcake hits the fan. The question is, will the magic of Christmas bring this family back together?
At 7:00 pm on Tuesday, November 22nd the Wy’East Artisans Guild will present their Gallery Opening “Ho, Ho, Ho.” Join the artists as they share how a twinkle of humor, time with friends and family, treats and gifts of the holidays, a cozy fire and a hot cup of joy inspired their works of art. At 7:30 pm, immediately following the gallery opening, guests are invited to a full preview presentation of the play. Donations to the theater and guild are most appreciated.
Tickets for adults are $20.00, senior citizens, veterans $18.00 and children $15.00. All may be purchased online at sandyactorstheatre.com and at the door. Concessions are $2.00.
