Naughty is a dark as coal new 90-minute comedy that highlights a string of bad Christmases spanning thirty years in the life of a dysfunctional family. Christmas Eve 1974 begins with Mom decorating the perfect tree as Dad announces his plan to leave. Enter the children demanding to open presents early, and Dad fueling the frenzy by downing scotch and encouraging the children to indulge their desire to tear through the gifts all at once. Is this the worst Christmas, or maybe the best Christmas ever? Only time will tell as the family members wend their way through decades of awkward holiday fare, punctuated by meetings with a sad-sack Santa and a mischievous elf.

NAUGHTY by Michael R. McGuire, directed by Kato McNickle, presented by The Planning Stage. Featuring Andreas Halidis, Jake Kaeser, Tiffany Krupa, Laura Natusch, Nathan Pupilla, and Felia Williams.
