Sounds like a plot line from a Hallmark Channel holiday movie? This Christmas, stories like this are also playing out off-screen on theater stages around the country. As spoofs.While a lot of theater companies are dusting off traditional chestnuts like “A Christmas Carol” or"White Christmas,” some are tackling the TV Christmas rom-com. Almost like a plot from Hallmark's playbook, regional and community theaters are putting on a festive show.
Zach Athanasakis, the director, emphasized to the 16-member cast that much of the humor depends on them saying their lines with a straight face. The regional theater, which employs 250 people, has built a reputation for choosing shows “off the beaten path," says Murphy, a founding member. He really felt good about the choice when he saw the reactions across age groups.
It took him about a month to knock out a script. He used the nom de plume Robert Hawlmark, thus making it a “Hawlmark original.” The play is a love letter to Williamston, which has a population just over 3,800. The corporate career gal comes home from the big city of Lansing, the state capital 20 miles to the north.
