**Please keep in mind that in spite of the show title, A Nice Family Christmas has some adult themes and might not be suitable for the younger members of your nice family**
Its Christmas Eve, and a young newspaper reporter (played by David MacDonald) on the brink of being fired has been assigned a last-chance story about a typical family Christmas his familys Christmas. He goes home to his recently widowed mother (Melissa Brenner), his crazy uncle (Steven Perry), his eccentric grandmother (Gina Shuck), and his battling siblings (Jos Bernard and Melissa Brown) and his brothers neurotic spouse (Bella Ruiz), who provide no shortage of material. One by one, we learn each family members secrets, problems, and dysfunctions, and when they learn that hes writing an article with some very personal family information, the fruitcake hits the fan. The question is, will the magic of Christmas bring this family back together?Co-Directors Melissa Brenner and Steven Haber agree, that this show is so easily adapted to our current pandemic situation. Without changing the authors script, we are performing with every cast member using masks and hand sanitizer on stage! Haber continues, The cast is doing a wonderful job balancing their theatrical skills with safety. I couldnt be happier.
