Watkins. The plot centers around a sto ry of family conflict: The Gorski family is Catholic, but the eldest brother, Andy (played by Bruce McArthur), brings home a Jew ish fiancee. Andy’s mother is a sweet, Catholic woman with an understanding heart, but his fa ther is a bitter man who can’t ac cept the fact that Andy’s fiancee is a Jewish atheist. To make matters worse, Andy brings Randi Stein (played by Erika Jane Johnson) home to meet his family on Christmas Eve. On top of this problem, the family must cope with the fact that Andy’s brother, Mickey Gorski (played by Joe Stipek Helm) is mentally handicapped. When Andy brings home his fiancee, the cohesion within the Gorski family begins to break up. In the middle of the destruc tion, however, Mickey surpris es the entire group. Up until this point, his extremely limit ed vocabulary has consisted of “oh boy” and “wow.” Sudden ly, he bellows out “Greetings!” and the play begins to take shape. Apparently, Mickey’s body has been temporarily inhabited by an ancient, wise and witty spirit who is determined to ex tinguish the negative situation that is brewing. This adds a comedic twist, which sends the audience on an improbable ex ploration into human nature. The Off-Broadway produc tion of “Greetings!” was hailed as “a surprisingly effective comedy [that] ... glows with good-natured, warm-hearted emotion" by the Associated Press. The Berkshire Eagle said, “‘Greetings!’ should become as much a part of the fabric of win ter holiday season as ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ and ‘A Christ mas Carol.’” The Actors Cabaret will pre sent this comedy, written by Tom Dudzick, on Thursdays, WENDY FULLER/Emerald The Gorski family comes togeth er in Tom Dndzick’s Greetings!'
