It’s Christmas Eve at the Douglas’ and company’s coming, like it or not.
“In-Laws, Outlaws &
Other People Who Should Be Shot,” LePetit de Terrebonne Theatre’s latest offering, is destined to be a side-splitting way to ring in the holidays. The show runs Nov. 13-22, and tickets are $15.
The Douglases are one big, little-less-than-perfectly happy family. There’s dad, Tom (Steve Crispino), Mrs. Douglas (Patty Foret Loupe), their daughter Beth (Carlie Hay). And then there are the relatives – redneck inlaws Bunny (Brittany Pellegrin) and Bud (Larry Hyatt), the couple’s daughter Tracy (Anna Gautreaux), the space-invader Aunt Rose (Pat Hornsby Crochet) and her cantankerous husband Uncle Leo (George Beaudry).
And here’s where the real story begins. With the cops hot on their trail, Tony (Reggie Pontiff) and his dim-witted sidekick Vinny (Scott Courville) are looking for a hide-out. The pair just robbed the neighborhood liquor store. The armed duo sneak their way into the Douglas home, only to find themselves in charge of an ever-growing group of wackos they are forced to hold hostage.
Add to the mix an irritating neighbor, Mrs. Draper (Gayle Walters-Barrios), the Wakowski clan – Paul (Malcolm Parfait), Emily (Abbigail Tuttle) and their mom (Kelly Burlette) and a cop, Officer Henley (Carroll “Cal” McKey III) and you’ve got a fun evening of entertainment.
Steve Franco wrote the hilarious script, which Greg Whitney directs. Donna Benda and Frank Davis are the show’s co-producers.
“It’s a real fun show,” Whitney said. “As big as the cast is, they’ve really jelled well together. I’m real happy to be working with them.”
Whitney said the large cast is comprised of a blend of theatre rookies and veterans, ranging in age from 13 to, well, more than 13.
“It’s a funny Christmas play and our last show before Christmas,” Whitney said. “The title alone makes you laugh. I can’t wait for audiences to get a chance to see it. I think they’ll relate to the characters and enjoy a laugh or two in the meantime.”
“In-Laws, Outlaws & Other People Who Should Be Shot” is a comedy that is sure to keep audiences laughing throughout the night. The show runs until Nov. 22 at LePetit de Terrebonne.
