Greetings! by Tom Dudzick is a 5-character comedy about a young man who brings home his Jewish atheist fiancé to meet his very Catholic parents on Christmas Eve. With the inevitable family explosion comes an out-of-left-field miracle that propels the family into a wild exploration of love, religion, personal truth and the nature of earthly reality. In an expert way it plays every audience-pleasing trick in the book, from the clockwork gag lines to the tidbits of New Age philosophy, to an uplifting ending that even Steven Spielberg would have thought twice about, it’s as smooth as a con man trying to talk his way into your house. The twist itself is a great one, theatrically speaking.
