            Players Workshop's second production of the 2026-2027 theatrical season is Let Nothing You Dismay, a holiday farce by author Topher Payne.
            Set during Christmas, the story follows Kevin and Allie, who are about to become parents and are waiting for a phone call. Despite asking their families to keep their distance until the baby arrives, relatives and friends keep showing up — Kevin’s father with his much‑younger wife and extended clan, Kevin’s mother with her veterinarian, neighbor, and favorite author, and Allie’s family with her competitive sister, her “Bubbie,” and Bubbie’s gentleman friend
