ABOUT THE SHOW
In Topher Payne's "LET NOTHING YOU DISMAY" it is Christmas, and Kevin and Allie are about to become parents. They're just waiting for a phone call.
Although they've asked their families to keep their distance until they bring the baby home, of course no one keeps their distance.
Kevin's father visits with his much-younger wife and their extended clan, followed by Kevin's mother with her veterinarian, her upstairs neighbor, and her favorite author.
And then Allie's family invades, including her ultra-competitive sister, her Bubbie, and Bubbie's gentleman friend.
Eight actors play twenty-two characters in this lightning-paced holiday farce that celebrates families of all kinds.
