It will soon be Christmastime in the Irish Catskills. What better way to celebrate than with an Irish-American play that takes place on Christmas Eve?
The Michael J. Quill Irish Cultural & Sports Centre presents the world première of "On the Expectation of White Christmases" at Columbia Green Community College, Hudson, NY on December 7th, 8th (at 8:00) & 9th (2:00). Tickets are $15, $12 for students and seniors, and can be reserved by calling (518) 634-2286. Group rates are available. Proceeds will benefit the Centre.
Written by Greene County resident Brian C. Petti, the play takes place in 1975 suburban New York from Christmas Eve through Christmas Day. It tells the story of Mary, an 11-year old girl who is waiting for her long estranged father to show up for a Christmas Eve dinner reconciliation. As the family waits for the missing father to appear, an unforgettable Christmas night ensues.
With equal parts humor and pathos, "On the Expectation of White Christmases" is a heartbreaking examination of the trials of familial love, the resiliency of hope and the price of redemption.
