Kentwood Players presents a reading of ON THE FARCE DAY OF CHRISTMAS, a comedy by Ken Levine, on Sunday, February 5 at 7:00pm at the Westchester Playhouse, located at 8301 Hindry Avenue in Westchester, CA 90045.
Those attending are invited to a pre-reading reception beginning at 6:00pm on the Westchester Playhouse front patio with free pizza provided by PIZZA HUT at 6312 W 89th St., Los Angeles, CA 90045.

ON THE FARCE DAY OF CHRISTMAS deals with a familiar family problem around the holidays. To keep her religious mother from knowing she's divorced, Wendy pays her ex-husband to go home with her for Christmas to keep her mother in the dark about their current uncoupled status. Of course, havoc and hilarity ensue!
