(WEST WINDSOR, NJ) -- Kick off the holidays with a quirky group of friends and family navigating the stresses of the season in the hilarious comedy "Seasonal Allergies," weekends from November 21-30, 2025 at the Kelsey Theatre on the West Windsor Campus of Mercer County Community College.

"Seasonal Allergies," a comedy about life in between Thanksgiving and New Year's, features a group of friends in their late 30's getting together during the holiday season. Pete, a broken-hearted, soon-to-be divorcee winds up staying with his sister Julia, her husband, and their karate-loving son Charlie. But the couple didn't expect their guest to turn their house upside down, and take an extended vacation—in their living room!

Alison and J.D. are the best friends who are starting a family and due any day with their first child, while Emily is the widow neighbor whose tree was hit by a car—Pete's car— which is then dragged into the Shelby household to be used as a Christmas tree. Let the neuroses of the holiday season begin!

Dates and showtimes for "Seasonal Allergies" are Friday, November 21 and November 28 at 8:00pm, with matinee performances Saturday, November 22 and November 29 at 2:00pm and Sunday, November 23 and November 30 at 2:00pm. Performances are at the Kelsey Theatre on Mercer County Community College's West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
