EBDT presents ‘On the Farce Day of Christmas’
CLEARWATER — “On the Farce Day of Christmas,” by Ken Levine, recently opened at the Early Bird Dinner Theater, 13355 49th St. N., Clearwater.
The production will run through Dec. 14. The price for buffet and show is $50 including tax. Call 727-446-5898 for reservations. For availability, visit earlybirddinnertheater.com or email susan.ebdt@yahoo.com.
Directed by Jessica Burchfield, the cast of “On the Farce Day of Christmas” features Lenny Agnello, Brianna Alfieri, Elizabeth Bell, Jim Bowe, Michael Kenneth Fahr and Magee Sapowsky. Mike Arnold is stage managing.
“This hilarious holiday comedy is not just a wacky comedic ride, but a tasty treat for those seeking something fresh and new for the holidays,” said Susan Linardos, producer.
“Get ready for a holly-jolly mix-up,” added Burchfield. “When Wendy convinces her ex-husband Gary to play ‘happy couple’ for the holidays to fool her very traditional mother, what could possibly go wrong? Answer: Everything! From tangled lies to laugh-out-loud chaos, this festive farce by Emmy Award-winning writer Ken Levine delivers nonstop holiday hilarity. A merry misadventure you won’t forget — full of love, laughter, and a whole lot of Christmas crazy!”
Coming in January, Early Bird will present the heart-warming comedy “Where You Are,” directed by Stephen Riordan.
