It’s Christmas in the Everglades again as NNT begins a new winter tradition by remounting its wildly successful comedy, A Christmas in Ochopee by Montana Cypress. With fry bread, family feuds, and a memorable gator that may or may not hold the spirit of a beloved rez dog, the Weetley family navigates love, and loud uncles under one roof. Full of sharp Native humor, culture, and heart, Cypress brings us a holiday play that speaks to the beauty and chaos of rez life. It’s a Florida Christmas—expect miracles, mess, and maybe a chainsaw or two.

By the time the lights go down, the audience doesn’t feel like they’ve watched a holiday comedy. It feels like they’ve spent time with people they might actually know—and that’s the kind of Christmas story worth coming back to. -By: Jared Fessler Broadway world
Director Julia Rosa Sosa Chaparro directs this comedic play with a broad comedy tone, which the cast gamely commits to, but still allowing for moments of connection. -Cherry and Spoon
