Adirondack Stage Rats Present “Decked!” an Adult Holiday Play in Westport on Lake Champlain
Depot Theatre presents a staged reading of a new holiday play at Westport Heritage House.
Experience a wild, new holiday journey by acclaimed playwright Ginna Hoben. The playwright will be on hand to discuss, schmooze, answer questions, and share a cup of holiday cheer.
On Christmas Eve, Celia’s only child, Kit, confesses that she would rather live with her dad and his much younger partner beginning tonight, the couple’s wedding night. Left alone feeling powerless and enraged, Celia turns to alcohol and pills to escape her pain. Then, her eccentric sister Louise shows up to help her out of her despair.
In a drug-induced state (is she dead? or just tripping?) Celia wakes up in an alternate dimension where the sisters review her past, present, and potential future. With a nod to the classics "It’s a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Carol," this seriocomic holiday play explores themes of letting go and moving on.
This is a PG-13 production. Expect adult language, drug references, and mature themes; the usual ADK Stage Rats fare.
Reservations are not necessary, and admission is by donation.

A second staged reading will take place at Saranac Lake’s Pendragon Theatre on Sunday, December 10.
This reading is made possible in large part by a Creative Opportunity Fund Grant from A.R.T./New York.
