About Right Angles
Find out why audiences love "Chrismoose" with the Angielskis
In December 2022, Right Angles made its world premiere in Houston, Texas with a string of sold-out performances. It's our mission to bring this holiday gem to theatres around the United States and make it an annual Christmas tradition for audiences of all ages.
The Plot
Set in a snowy New England mill town in the early 1960s, Right Angles centers around Kasia Angielski, the matriarch of a Polish American Family. Kasia is deeply concerned about doing the right thing for the right reason within the moral and cultural bounds of her fellow Poles, while also trying to understand the baffling customs of her new home. Join Kasia and her eccentric family and friends as she hosts the annual Wigilia, the traditional Polish Christmas Eve celebration, when things go terribly wrong at one of the most reverent times of the year!
