"TLT’s ‘Greetings!’ offers laughter, love and miracles"
November 30, 2005
When Tryon Little Theater “Greetings!” director Peter Saputo was recently asked “What’s your play about?”, he quickly responded: “Oh, about two hours!”
Giving a sound-bite summary of this very special play is not easy. “Greetings!” brings rich delighted laughter from its audiences, and also touches the heart deeply. And as one critic said, “‘Greetings!’ should become as much a part of the winter holiday season as ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ and ‘A Christmas Carol.’” Says Saputo, “What is this play about? It’s about a family. A family at Christmas. It’s about religion and about our beliefs in religion. It is about how we come to have those beliefs and why we cling to them. It is about challenge. Challenges to our belief systems; challenges to our ways of life and those daily routines that keep us comfortable and feeling safe; and it is about what happens to us when something unthinkable comes along and challenges everything we believe in. In other words, it is about two hours. Two very busy and event-filled hours.” Phil and Emily Gorski (Mike Johnson and Frances McCain) are a staunch Catholic family, living in Pittsburgh and preparing for Christmas, which is just around the corner. Their two sons, Andy (Scott Gramer) and Mickey (Chris Riddle), will be sharing this holiday with them. Andy is a TV ad copy writer in New York. He has been raised Catholic and although he maintains a religious attitude, he is what is called a “fallen-away” Catholic. Mickey, his younger brother, though in his 20s is mentally disabled and has the intellectual capacity of a three-year-old. Mickey does now and always has resided at home. This particular Christmas will be a special one for the Gorski family, in more ways than one. Andy is bringing home his fiancée, Randi (Sam Lovelace), a Jewish atheist. While Andy has not become an atheist himself, he accepts Randi’s point-of-view and finds no problem with her belief system. This will definitely not be the case for the parents, especially Phil, the father. This rakes up old wounds and battles between the father and son which threaten to come to a head on this particular holiday. Suddenly, however, they are visited by an “entity” that has taken up residence in Mickey’s body. His name is Lucius and he refers to Mickey as his “host.” It seems that Mickey has “invited” Lucius to be there this Christmas to share his wisdom and his love with this warring family. Concludes Saputo, “So. What is this play about? Well – it is about a miracle. It is about family and love and religion. It is about two hours.” “Greetings” will play at the Tryon Little Theater Workshop, 516 South Trade Street, Dec, 1-11: Thursdays-Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 3 p.m. The box office is open 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and an hour before each performance.
