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.
