A NIGHT WITH THE FAMILY Opens at Omaha Community Playhouse Tonight

The Omaha Community Playhouse (OCP) will present A Night with the Family tonight, April 19-May 22, 2013. This is the world premiere of A Night with the Family.

Everyone's family is a little dysfunctional, especially around the holidays, but this one tops them all. A family of quirky characters will have you rolling with laughter - a hippie father who's addicted to fake swear words, an overbearing mother with her French-Canadian ballet-dancing fiancé, a coddled son and his massive panic attacks and a level-headed daughter who is trying to make sense of it all. Hilarious one-liners, comedic and loveable characters and ` uproariously funny situations make this one exhilarating night with the family.

A Night with the Family by Matthew Ivan Bennett will be directed by Carl Beck and features Nick Zadina, Dennis Collins, Suzanne Withem, Kim Jubenville and Mathew Pyle.

Show dates: Tonight, April 19-May 12, 2013; Wednesday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, 2 p.m. Location: Omaha Community Playhouse, Howard and Rhonda Hawks Mainstage Theatre, 6915 Cass Street, Omaha, NE.
