A Book-It Holiday Favorite Comes Back to the Stage
The tiny, take-charge Owen Meany is one of the most memorable characters in contemporary literature. His pint-size Messiah complex blossoms into an unwavering determination to play the baby Jesus in the church Christmas pageant and leads to side-splitting hilarious adventures in Gravesend, New Hampshire. At 70 minutes, this is a perfect diversion from December's holiday madness.
