The classic romantic comedy Holiday, known to many in its beloved screen adaptation starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, has been reimagined by Tony Award-winning playwright Richard Greenberg and Director Robert Falls. The upper east side Seton family prepares to welcome free-spirited Johnny Case to the fold, but as New Year’s Eve approaches, the eternal battle between whether one lives to work or works to live threatens to break them all apart. 
 
“A reading with John Slattery, Lilli Cooper, Chris Perfetti, Hiram Delgado and Ella Beatty joining our stellar cast is truly a Holiday worth celebrating,” says Kent Gash, Artistic Director of The Acting Company. “Don't miss this new classic from Tony Award winners, Richard Greenberg, Falls and The Acting Company."
 
Proceeds for the evening will benefit The Acting Company’s national tour and education initiatives that reach tens of thousands of students and audience members across nearly two dozen states annually. Tickets range from $50-$500. Sponsorship packages are available for $5,000. For sponsors and premium ticket holders, the evening will include a post-performance reception with the artists.
