Welcome to winter at APT, where the fragrant green prairies are now dusted with sparkling snow, and the intimate Touchstone Theatre hosts its first ever holiday production. O. Henry’s classic tale of love and generosity has been adapted into a fresh-faced musical, perfect for the holidays. Written by APT core company member James DeVita with music by long-time APT composer Josh Schmidt, this play can't help but instill us all with the very best of the holiday season.
Jim and Della struggle through hard financial times, inspired largely by their love for each other. With Christmas approaching and no money for gifts, they each search for the perfect present for the other, while sacrificing the possessions most important to them. After all, what are material things compared to true love?
Sparse in presentation but rich in spirit, the story of Jim and Della – and their quest to give each other the perfect gift – sparkles with optimism, ingenuity and hope.It took something this special to wake APT from its winter nap: A brand-new, unique event for the season. A crisp walk in our quiet woods. And an uplifting holiday tale. Featuring Tracy Michelle Arnold, Marcus Truschinski and Brian Mani as O. Henry.
