About the Play
Ang, Mel, and Nadia, who have been friends for almost sixty years, are excited for their dream trip to Las Vegas for the Christmas Holidays. Their plans go awry when they get locked in a storage room on Christmas Eve. Rumors that the Hall Brothers have broken out of jail add to the drama. Will Ang, Mel, and Nadia survive with their friendship intact and make it to Vegas?

About the Series
The Media Arts Council (MAC) Play Reading Series was created by playwrights Julie Zaffarano, Dave Ebersole, and Keenya Jackson, in partnership with the MAC to create a space for local playwrights to hear their work read by talented actors and receive feedback from a public audience. The only regular new play reading series in the area, it brings exciting new stories to Delaware County.
Playwrights, actors, and directors who are interested in being involved in the series should Dave Ebersole at [email protected], Keenya Jackson at [email protected], or Julie Zaffarano at juliezaffarano.gmail.com. Due to the limited budget for this project, we are unable to offer actors or directors a stipend through the MAC.
