DECEMBER 7 – 17, 2017
Written by SET’s own Jenny Maloney and Jessica Weaver.
Springs Ensemble Theatre (“SET”) wraps up its eighth season with the hilarious, campy horror story The Gnome in the Room: An Anti-Christmas Christmas Play Involving Decorations, Death, Divorce, Relatives, Mythological Beings Who Can’t Keep Their Noses Out Of Other People’s Business, and a Nintendo Entertainment System. Written by SET members Jessica Weaver and Jenny Maloney, The Gnome in the Room is part of SET’s IndyGive! fundraising efforts.
Ten year old Joel’s family has decided they will not celebrate Christmas this year. His father has left his mother. His uncle is lonely and suicidal. Now he’s stuck in a cabin in the middle of the woods with no hope of getting the brand-spanking new Nintendo Entertainment System he wants.
Sensing the Christmas Spirit is missing in this family, a Weirdo offers Joel a special statue: a Gnome in the Room. But the Gnome and the Weirdo aren’t what they seem. To avoid being turned into gnomes or eternal slaves or being slashed to little bits, the whole family must learn to get along…with the help of a sexy stranger.
Gnome in the Room, directed by SET members Max Ferguson and Jenny Maloney, features the talents of guest artists Bob Morsch, Cyndi Parr, Taylor Geiman, Jonathan Andujar, Alayna Rose Tamez, Emma Colligan, and Nathaniel Bourn as well as SET members Emory John Collinson and Brianna G. Pilon.
