SUMMARY:Merry Christmas!  (Stranger Things Have Happened)
DESCRIPTION:(October 15\, 2013) – The Gift Theatre announces its annual Christmas production\, titled Merry Christmas! (Stranger Things Have Happened). The sketch comedy revue is written and performed by Natural Gas\, the house improv team of The Gift Theatre\, and directed by Ensemble member Jim Kozyra.  Fellow Natural Gas Ensemble members Eric Muller\, Carly Olson\,  John Pantlind and Kyle Zornes star with Gift Ensemble member Paul D’Addario. Merry Christmas! (Stranger Things Have Happened) runs December 5 – 14 at the Gift Theatre\, 4802 N. Milwaukee Avenue\, with performances Thursday-Saturday at 8 p.m. Single tickets\, $5\, are available at https://thegifttheatre.org/ or by calling the box office at 773-283-7071. \nUnlike other holiday shows that inspire depressing nostalgia for more youthful times\, or\, worse\, teach the true meaning of Christmas by murdering Tiny Tim\, Merry Christmas! (Stranger Things Have Happened) will force the holiday spirit into attendees’ bones by reminding them that no matter what\, everything is awesome and they are doing great. Whether fighting a war\, surviving at sea\, or just working late\, the holidays have the power to make everyone happier — even cynical comedians. \n“This show sets out to prove that just because the Paul McCartney Christmas song sucks\, doesn’t mean the John Lennon Christmas song doesn’t also suck\,” says Kozyra.

SUMMARY:One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest
DESCRIPTION:In an Oregon mental hospital\, Nurse Ratched runs a perfectly disciplined ward. The patients follow her every rule and keep no secrets. Enter Randall P. McMurphy\, just transferred from prison\, with a love for gambling\, sex\, booze and confrontation. McMurphy bets his new friends that he can unravel Ratched in a week. Told through the foggy haze of Chief Bromden’s hallucinations\, the play raises the need to question authority and to attack the subtle dulling of the human spirit by institutions. The novel\, written in 1962\, is one of the first steps taken in a life full of rebellion\, by its Merry Prankster author\, Ken Kesey. Ensemble member John Kelly Connolly makes his directorial debut. \nFeaturing: Ensemble Members Paul D’Addario\, Alexandra Main\, and Kenny Mihlfried \nWith Guest Artists: David Fink\, Katie Geunaldi\, Tamarus Harvell\, Jillian Jocson\, Kent Joseph\, Tom Lally\, Guy Massey\, Calliope Porter\, Adam Rosowicz\, Amy Speckien\, Jay Worthington\, Julia Kessler\, Evan Lee\, Norm Tobin\, and Michael Harris.

SUMMARY:Summer People
DESCRIPTION:If the Postone family can rely on anything\, they can rely on their summers in Maine. They spend every summer in a cottage by the sea and nothing—the cold mornings\, the creaky porch steps\, the crusty veteran who runs the general store—nothing ever changes. Until this summer. With a divorce on the horizon\, a daughter on the brink of sexual awakening\, and a veteran of the current war keeping watch from across the bay\, after this summer nothing will ever be the same.

SUMMARY:Stop Kiss
DESCRIPTION:When Callie\, a twentysomething New York traffic reporter\, promises to take on a cat from “some friend of an old friend of someone\,” she arranges to leave quickly the drop off so that she doesn’t get drawn into a dull evening with a stranger. She is an expert at avoiding conflict\, which serves her well in the city. The stranger named Sara on the other hand\, has willingly left her job at a Quaker school in St. Louis to teach third-graders in the Bronx. \nAlthough both are “straight” women\, they circle each other warily\, nursing an unspoken attraction. The playwright’s choices lend a bittersweet quality to even their lightest exchanges\, allowing us to wonder – along with the two women – whether the violent outcome of their single kiss makes it a bad idea.

SUMMARY:Talk Radio
DESCRIPTION:Eric Bogosian’s Talk Radio-his breakthrough 1987 Public Theater hit that was made into a film by Oliver Stone-has been revived in a “mesmerizing”(Newsday) production on Broadway\, with Liev Schreiber playing the role of the late-night shock jock that Bogosian himself originated. \nThe drama is set in the studio of Cleveland’s WTLK Radio over the course of Barry Champlain’s two-hour broadcast\, being scrutinized that night by producers with an interest in taking the show national\, and fueled as always by coffee\, cocaine\, and Jack Daniel’s. \nBarry’s jousts with his unseen callers-ranging from a white supremacist to a woman obsessed with her garbage disposal-are peppered with insights into his character from his ex-deejay pal and his sometime girlfriend/producer\, and punctuated with a transformative visit from an embodied voice. \nFeaturing: Ensemble Members Paul D’Addario\, Hillary Clemens\, and John Kelly Connolly. \nWith Guest Artists: Ed Flynn\, Evan Lee\, Lucas Neff\, John Ruhaak\, Justine Serino\, Laura Shatkus\, and Kyle Zornes.
