Photo Flash: Inside Farmington Players' LET NOTHING YOU DISMAY

Two crazy families put the FUN in dysfunctional in the holiday farce "Let Nothing You Dismay," playing November 30 through December 15 at the Farmington Players Barn Theater in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Tickets are available now at www.farmingtonplayers.org or by calling the box office at 248-553-2955.

The story by Topher Payne focuses on Jewish and Christian families that collide, then unite over the adoption of a baby born on Christmas Day. Adoptive parents Kevin and Allie plan to have a "cozy couple's Christmas" while they await the birth of their child. Their plans unravel when their extended families overrun the hospital to surprise the happy couple. The play opened in 2015 in the author's home state of Georgia. The Farmington Players Barn is staging the Midwest premiere.

Director Tony Targan of West Bloomfield describes the crazy farce as a cross between the TV sit-com Modern Family and the film Juno, which deals with adoption. Ten actors play 25 roles, and at least one of them is certain to remind you of someone you know. "This is the funniest play you've never heard of," says Targan. "It's also the most hilarious I've ever directed, which is saying a lot after Spamalot!"
