It’s Christmas Eve, and Celia is unemployed, broke and increasingly reliant on alcohol and pills. Can she find her road to recovery? Decked! is an all-female dramedy about letting go and moving on.
It’s Christmas Eve, and Celia is at a breaking point. She’s unemployed, broke and her only daughter wants to move in with Celia’s ex-husband and his much younger bride-to-be. Celia tries to drown her pain in alcohol and pills before her eccentric sister Louise shows up and makes Celia review her past, present and potential futures. But Louise’s own past eventually comes to light and complicates Celia’s road to recovery. Decked! is an all-female dramedy about letting go and moving on.
Decked! was originally produced by Theatre B in Moorhead, Minnesota, in November 2023.
