No doubt, each of us has those out-of-kilter family members everyone makes fun of for their quirks and strange behaviors when the family gets together for the holidays.
Such is the case in Steve Franco’s holiday comedy In-Laws, Outlaws and Other People (that Should Be Shot), being presented by Elora Community Theatre.
The show is directed by Stan Jensen so that each bad habit of the strange Douglas family is brought to life by his actors.
The action commences at 6pm with the Douglas family busily preparing to be invaded by their quirky relatives for their annual Christmas Eve dinner in a modest, upper middle-class home in snowy Brooklyn.
Then the doorbell rings next, two bumbling crooks, Tony and Vinny use a ruse to gain entrance into the home.
These two are a riot as they attempt to gain control of the uncontrollable family.
But they soon find themselves in charge of an ever-growing list of zany family members and neighbours making the audience wonder who is holding whom hostage.
Running from Feb. 2 to 4 and Feb. 9 to 11 at the Fergus Grand Theatre, this dysfunctional family holiday comedy will leave the audience quite merry with laughter, officials state.
The show times include:
– Feb. 2 and 9 at 8pm;
– Feb. 3 and 10 at 2 and 8pm; and
– Feb. 4 and 11 at 2pm.
Tickets are available at the theatre box office by calling 519-787-1981 or online at fergusgrandtheatre.ca.
