OTC presents the first full staging of "Manny and the Wise Queens" written by Idris Goodwin and directed by Jacole Kitchen December 6 to December 22, introducing audiences to the small town of Bethlehem, U.SA., where a bright star draws distant visitors to usher in a new era one December night in 2020. The gift-bearing travelers (the three wise men/kings) have taken a break and now it’s time for the wise queens to get the job done. Two wise queens find themselves in the attic of Manny, a depressed recent high school graduate, who has locked himself away to escape the remnants of holiday cheer in his quarantined town. Luckily with their sudden arrival, they provide a potential key to Manny’s deliverance in this comedic celebration of hope, healing, and holiday magic. Tickets range from $20 - $45 (Preview Night - $20, Opening Night - $45, General Admission - $35)Ticketing Page: https://oceansidetheatre.vbotickets.com/event/Manny_and_the_Wise_Queens_Preview_and_Opening_Night/114391 For more information, visit: https://oceansidetheatre.org/manny-and-the-wise-queens/ Oceanside Theater Company on Instagram and Facebook
