OPENING FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20TH
Island ETC invites you to get into the holiday spirit with our production of A NICE FAMILY CHRISTMAS by Phil Olson. This funny comedy will run from November 20 through December 12 at ETC, 2317 Mechanic in Galveston. Performances will be Thursdays (except Thanksgiving), Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm. There will be one matinee on Sunday, November 22 at 2:30 pm.
It’s Christmas Eve, and one quirky family is gathering for a holiday full of love, laughter, and plenty of dysfunction. Carl (Vince Cioppa ) is a newspaper reporter on the brink of being fired and has been assigned a story about a typical family Christmas. His family Christmas is in the home of his recently widowed mother (Angela Markides),his battling siblings Michael (Kyle Crawford) and Stacy (Taylor Adams), his crazy Uncle Bob (Marvin BYrkett), his ‘out there’ grandmother (Kim Mytelka) and Michael’s unhappy wife Jill (Maia Morales). They provide plenty of family Christmas traditions and secrets.
A NICE FAMILY CHRISTMAS is the perfect holiday event for those who have survived a holiday dinner! Cailin Heffernan directs it. Scenic designer is Thomas D. Boone, costume designer is Elizabeth Ektefai, and lighting designer is Logan Ezell.
Group rates are available for groups of ten or more. If you are interested in these, please call the box office at 409-762-3556.
Island ETC recommends A NICE FAMILY CHRISTMAS for all ages. *However, there is some sexual innuendo.
