A tale of greed, generosity, and an itchy tuxedo forms the holiday comedy Forgive Me, It's Christmas, which Bunbury Theatre will present beginning this weekend.
Forgive Me, It's Christmas will take place on Dec. 5, 6, 11-13, and 17-20 at 7:30 p.m. each night. Shows on Dec. 14 and 21 will take place at 2:30 p.m. Finally, a show on Dec 7 will happen at 4:30 p.m. All shows will go on at Bunbury Theatre, located on the third floor of the Henry Clay Building at 604 S. Third Street in Old Louisville.
Tickets for each show are $22 for adults, $19 for senior citizens, and $10 for students. All tickets can be purchased at the door or by going to the Bunbury Theatre website.
Forgive Me, It's Christmas focuses on the true spirit of the holiday season just as Meryl is to receive a highly important award. For the award ceremony, Meryl wants older brother Loomis to wear a tuxedo. Loomis, however, would rather give his tuxedo away than wear the itchy thing. Things go even more haywire when it is learned that Loomis is actually the heir to a trust. As a result, when Meryl and Loomis's family get together for a Christmas feast, the battle between greed and kindness take up the evening.
Bunbury Theatre artistic director Juergen K. Tossman created the production. The cast includes Brad Castleberry, Liz Vissing, Mike Burmester, Virginia Pollack, Katie Graviss, Jerarrin Kennerly, Diane Kane, and Sharon Becher.
Following Forgive Me, It's Christmas, Bunbury Theatre will present A Life in the Theatre. That production will open in February.
