Probably the single most recognizable local stage actor, John McGivern
has been exceedingly successful in developing performances around his
memories of growing up in Milwaukee as a baby boomer. His East Side,
Catholic upbringing is well known to dedicated audiences familiar with
his work from TV, radio and stage, and informs his annual holiday
performance, Home for the Holidays, which returns to the
Off-Broadway Theatre this year. This year's performance includes new
material, which reportedly includes tales of life as an altar boy,
childhood snowstorms and those strange, little ball bearings sometimes
found on Christmas cookies.
