THE MUSICAL
A world premiere musical based on the classic Christmas novel by Gail Rock and the beloved 1972 television movie. Set in rural Nebraska in 1946, young Addie Mills can’t understand why her father won’t allow them to have a Christmas tree in their house. She discovers the tree symbolizes a deeper wound that her family has buried. A deeply moving and joyous coming of age holiday tale set to music centering on a young girl whose simple wish heals her family’s broken heart.
