A Civil War Christmas

On Christmas Eve, 1864, stories of President and Mrs. Lincoln, a rebel soldier, and an escaped slave intertwine into a tapestry of collective American experience. This new play by Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel (How I Learned to Drive) gives the challenges of a young nation facing its greatest moral test an inspiring and insightful look. Promising to be an instant family classic, this production includes beloved holiday music and will be enhanced by local choirs caroling before each performance.
"With A Civil War Christmas, I was struck once again by the strength of Paula's voice. Her writing is consistently innovative and intellectually rich. With this play, she's given a great gift to us all: a new American Christmas celebration." - Peter DuBois
"Holiday entertainment of the most deeply satisfying kind." - The Boston Globe
