Written by local comedic favorite, Ryan Cassavaugh, this hilarious Christmas Tale of a family in flux will make its World Debut at Verge Theater in December!

Jimmy has just been released from the State Prison after serving time for a "crime of passion". All he wants is to pick up life where it was interrupted 18 months prior, but life on the outside hasn't remained static. His brother Donnie lives in a state of confusion and paranoia brought on by recreational drug use; Marcie (the cougar next door) has waged war on discretion; his sister-in-law Jackie is in need of a life; his other brother Eddie has finally made a life; his estranged wife Debbie is acting strangely; his mother wants to wake up from this awful dream that is her family; and his parole officer just wants to know where the hell Jimmy is!

If you think Christmas with your family is tough, come and get a dose of hilarious hi-jinx as Jimmy attempts to unravel his family and place them back into the neat packages he desires after months in the slammer. Then again, perhaps life behind bars with strangers was better than a holiday with his family.

Jimmy's First Christmas (on parole) will run at 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays from December 11-19. Tickets are $14. Reservations online at vergetheater.com or in person at Cactus Records in Downtown Bozeman. Verge Theater is located at 2304 N. 7th Ave, across from Murdoch's.
