Christmas spoof to open in Nehalem
Published 5:05 pm Tuesday, December 2, 2025
Riverbend Players director Frank Squillo decribes the latest show, “The Holiday Channel Christmas Movie Wonderthon” by Don Zelidis as “a hilarious parody of the classic holiday TV movie formula — think Hallmark and Lifetime.”
The play opens 7 p.m. Dec. 5 at the North County Recreation District Performing Arts Center, at 36155 Ninth St., Nehalem.
Performances continue 7 p.m. Dec. 6, Dec. 12-13 and Dec. 19-20 with 2 p.m. matinees on Dec. 7, 14 and 21.
Set in a cozy inn during Christmas, the play follows seven predictable, intertwined love stories filled with small-town charm, romantic misunderstandings, and holiday magic.
From a workaholic executive finding love to a secret prince hiding in plain sight, the show is designed to cover every cliché, trope, and heartwarming twist of holiday movies.
Tickets are $20 to $25, online at riverbendplayers.org.
