Pulitzer prize-winner Paula Vogel's pageant play for all seasons is set on a chilly Christmas eve during the latter days of the Civil War
It weaves a tapestry of both fictional and historical characters - such as President and Mrs Lincoln - with holiday music, marches, hymns and spirituals of the period to tell a story of companionship and communal hope arising from one of America's darkest hours
" ... a rich and moving play with music ... it taps into seasonal themes of redemption, forgiveness and community, with a decidedly American bent" ~ Variety
"Deep-rooted and ambitious ... a fascinating interface of history and fiction ... boldly inventive theatre, warm and affecting" ~ Talkin' Broadway
