Wellesley College Theatre presents
A Civil War Christmas: an American Musical Celebration
Directed by Nora Hussey
Musical Direction by Jeanne Monroe
Opens November 18 @ 7:00pm ~ Ruth Nagel Jones Theatre
It’s 1864 and Washington, D.C. is settling down to the coldest Christmas Eve in years. In the White House, President and Mrs. Lincoln plot their gift-giving. On the banks of the Potomac, a rebel challenges a Union blacksmith’s mercy. On the alleys downtown, an escaped slave loses her daughter just before finding freedom. This musical by Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel intertwines many lives, showing us that the gladness of one’s heart is the best gift of all. Professional actors from the Wellesley Repertory Theatre, Woody Gaul* and John Kinsherf* join Wellesley College students on stage in song, dance and story.
