    Ahahahahaha, the ideal short play for any festival (holiday themed or not)! If you have ever been uncomfortable during the opening of gifts -- and you know you have -- then you are Marie. Marie, thank you for being us all. Hilarious!

    Funny, relatable, and delightfully escalating, *Gift Exchange* captures the particular panic of holiday office traditions gone wildly out of hand. Moran mines gift-giving anxiety for big laughs, creating a brisk comedy that would be a perfect fit for any festive short-play lineup.
