REMINDER: It’s the perfect way to end your hectic Black Friday of shopping (locally of course) – Burien Actors Theatre’s production of ‘Handle with Care’ opens at 8 p.m. this Friday night, Nov. 23. Performances will be Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. through Dec. 16 at Burien Actors Theatre, located at 14501 4th Ave SW in Burien. Starting the day after Thanksgiving, Handle with Care is a delightfully fresh holiday comedy dusted with magic and brimming with romance – a Holiday show that is NOT a retelling the Christmas Carol! (“Joy of joys”). This Northwest premiere is from Jason Odell Williams, the writer of BAT’s hit production last spring of Church & State. Performances run November 23 through December 16. BAT’s production features specialty drinks themed to the show and plenty of free on-site parking, plus an opening night party. “HANDLE WITH CARE” Ayelet, a young Israeli woman with little command of English, reluctantly travels with her grandmother to America at Christmastime. Circumstances both hilarious and sad involving a DHX driver’s stolen truck and a “lost package” bring Ayelet together with Josh, a young man who has little command of Hebrew or romance. Is their attraction an accident, or a destiny generations in the making?

“Hilarious and heartwarming.”
