Petaluma Readers Theatre presents, a staged reading of “Pet the Elephant” by Maureen Studer.

So you think your family is crazy around the holidays? Wait till you meet the Naybors!

It’s the mid 1980’s, at 4am on Thanksgiving Day and the scrumptious dinner is fast approaching. Time is limited. The task is gargantuan. Eva’s struggling to keep her secret hidden at all costs. But she can feel the madness starting to crack through her controlled veneer.

As if all that isn’t enough, Angel, the eldest daughter refuses to come home today, of all days. Mikey, the middle child, is snarky about being disconnected from his phone. Wouldn’t you know it, Deborah, the baby of the family, is out way too late with that boy. Aunt Ruth is still eavesdropping on private discussions. And Sam, Eve’s long-suffering husband has terrifying memories surfacing, again.

Wanna bet they don’t even make it to the appetizers?
