	SCHENECTADY – The second play of Schenectady Civic Players’ 91st
Season, _LOOKING AT CHRISTMAS _by Steven Banks and directed by Mark
Stephens, opens Friday, December 7, and plays through Sunday, December
16, at its 12 South Church Street Playhouse in Schenectady’s 
historic Stockade district. 

	 It’s Christmas Eve. New York City. An aspiring writer and a
struggling actress meet while looking at the famous holiday windows,
and the characters in the displays come to life and look back at them,
including a lecherous elf with eyes for Mrs. Claus, Scrooge and Tiny
Tim arguing about being portrayed as zombies, a street-wise Little
Match Girl, Jim from "The Gift of the Magi" enjoying his wife's new
androgynous haircut, and a jealous Joseph The Carpenter. A smart,
sweet, slightly twisted holiday romantic comedy. 

	 NYTheater.com called it “original, brash, and bursting with
theatrical energy. The charming characters and the author’s
occasional pokes at tradition, make this play a very good gift.” 

	 The six-person cast features Jason Biszick (as John),  Brigitta
Giulianelli (as Charmian),  Laura Graver (as Tiny Tim, Little Match
Girl),  Meigg Jupin (as Mrs. Claus, Model, Della Betty, Cathleen,
Mary), Martin O’Connor (as Scrooge, Jim, Johnny Pat, Joseph), and
Michael Schaefer (as Elf, Snowman, Buddy, Joseph). 

	 _ LOOKING AT CHRISTMAS _runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (December
7, 8, 9) and Wednesday through Sunday (December 12 through 16). Friday
and Saturday curtains are at 8 pm. Wednesday and Thursday curtains are
at 7:30 pm., and Sundays are matinees only at 2:30 pm. _ __Recommended
for PG-13 audiences_. 

	 Tickets are $20. Order on-line at www.civicplayers.org [1]  Or call
(518) 382-2081
