Helge is turning sixty, and everyone is coming home for the party. His eldest son, Christian, whose twin sister, Linda, recently committed suicide, will raise the first toast… and reveal a shocking family secret. Trapped for 24 hours within the walls of the lavish country estate—rocked by revelations that shatter the veneer of respectability—even the disbelieving guests are choosing sides as the truth painfully unfolds. Adapted from the award-winning 1998 Danish film by the same title (released in the U.S. as “The Celebration”), Festen redefines tragedy for a modern age. For mature audiences only.

The Gamm presents plays of substance and distinction, acted with excellence and offered to the public in an intimate setting that allows the audience to be immersed fully in the ambiance of the production and the interchange between the actors themselves, and between the actors and the audience.
In 2003, the Gamm moved into its new home, the Pawtucket Armory, since renamed the Arts Exchange. The Arts Exchange is poised to be an exciting venue for the arts, and the large drill hall is often used for events, such as the Annual Foundry Artists Show.
