‘Greetings!’ New Christmas play coming to the Marion Art Center

MARION — The Marion Art Center Theater is presenting a holiday play by popular playwright Tom Dudzick and directed by Jennifer Palmer. 

Main character Andy has a sweet Catholic mother, a sour Catholic father and an intellectually disabled younger sibling named Mickey. When he brings his Jewish atheist fiancé to meet the folks on Christmas Eve, his worst fears about family blow-ups are realized. 

But when Mickey, whose entire vocabulary has been limited to “oh boy” and “wow,” suddenly spouts the word “Greetings!” the entire family’s belief system is turned upside down. 

The show’s cast includes actors Arturo Ferreiro, Bethany Lamoureux, Michele Letourneau, Tristan McCann and Frank Mitchell. 

The Stage Manager is Marisa Biever, Steve McManus is the Technical Director and the set construction is ably handled by Ron Biever. 

The show opens on Dec. 5 and runs on Dec. 6, 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. and on Dec. 14 as a Sunday matinee.
