It doesn't matter what your favorite holiday is. They all get together in
the new comedy fable *Hell with the Holidays* by Nicholas Savitch, opening
December 11 from *Gilda Shedstecker Presents!*

Christmas (Dan Fritz) is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
after years of expending good cheer in the midst of a war torn world.
Father Time (Manuel Halkias) orchestrates a scheme to stage an intervention
for Chris with the spirits of his famous siblings. But every family has its
dysfunction and this one is no exception. Delphine (Patrice Rittenhouse)
has made Halloween the second biggest holiday ever, and Ostara (Ellen Fox)
has millions of eggs to boil. Can they put aside their rivalry to help
their brother? The laughs continue when Mariette (Roman Feemster) and
Valentino (Michael Burkhardt) drop in from the balls of Bourbon Street to
announce their engagement, and Jack Frost (James Dreussi) catches Georgie
(Linda Alexander-Radak) sneaking around the Arctic with sinister plans to
make every day Earth Day! All is nearly lost when reminiscences of pagan
childhoods give way to comparisons of experience with the church. Can
Christmas be saved before Mother Nature (Haggy Hageman) crashes the party?

With lots of nods to pop culture, and the emotional gamut from heartbreak
to hilarity, you have never seen a holiday play like this one! So if you're
looking for new yuletide fare instead of (yawn) another Christmas Carol or
Best Pageant, see *Hell with the Holidays!*

The show runs December 11, 12, 18 and 19 at the Kathleen Howland Theatre at
324 Cleveland Ave NW, Canton. Directed by Doug Tennant and stage managed by
Tawny Plumley Burkhardt, all performances are 8:00 pm and the show is
recommended for audiences 14 years or older. Tickets are $10 and available
online at secondapril.org or by calling 330-451-0924.
