IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MILLENNIAL THEATRE COMPANY TO PRESENT AREA PREMIERE OF WHO'S HOLIDAY THIS WEEKEND ONLY AT HOPEWELL THEATRE!
by The Millennial Theatre Company 25 Nov '24

25 Nov '24

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 25, 2024 Who’s Holiday Plays This Weekend Only For 3 Performances At Hopewell Theatre! YOUNGSTOWN, OH – The Millennial Theatre Company (MTC) is proud to present the area premiere of the adult holiday comedy WHO’S HOLIDAY at Hopewell Theatre (702 Mahoning Ave, Youngstown, OH 44512) for one weekend only! Performances run Friday November 29 and Saturday November 30 at 7:30 pm and Sunday December 1 at 2:00pm. WHO’S HOLIDAY tells the story of Cindy Lou Who, 30 years after the events of The Grinch. Cindy is now in exile from Whoville. A series of bad decisions led her to destitution on Mt. Crumpit, then prison, and finally, the trailer she resides in today. WHO’S HOLIDAY is a wildly funny and heartfelt adults-only comedy, narrated entirely in rhyme by an adult Cindy, as she recalls that Christmas Eve she first met the Grinch and the twisted turn of events her life has now taken. Youngstown actress Brandy Johanntges stars as Cindy Lou Who. Director Joe Asente said that this production is a departure from what people have seen before MTC and from the holiday season, “MTC has made a name for itself over the years for producing large-scale musicals, and it is definitely where we are most comfortable. It takes a lot for us to even consider a play in our season. However, after seeing the New York version of this production livestream online during the COVID-19 pandemic, I knew that this was a show that our audiences would love, and we have been trying to find the best way to fit it into our season ever since. When I met Brandy Johanntges last season during Sweeney Todd, I knew straight away she was the person to lead this show. She brings the perfect amount of sweetness, spice, spunk, and spark to Cindy. She truly has risen to the challenge of this one-woman production.” Asente continued, “We all love the classics during the holidays, but I think Youngstown audiences are also always looking to expand their entertainment intake this time of year. With this zany, adults-only take on a childhood classic, this production has just the right amount of nostalgia to satisfy that fuzzy, warm Christmas part of your brain while still giving audiences a chance to laugh and enjoy all the humor that comes along with the season as well.” The production is directed by Joe Asente and stars Brandy Johanntges. Tickets start at $20 and are available online at www.millennialtheatre.org.
