This glorious tapestry of the American experience weaves fact and fiction, old-time carols, and traditional tunes into a whimsical saga of a divided nation longing for hope. Set on a snowy Christmas Eve in Washington in 1864, it imagines celebrated figures from Abe Lincoln to Walt Whitman rubbing elbows with colorful characters drawn from every stratum of society. With TheatreWorks' Founding Artistic Director Robert Kelley at the helm, A Civil War Christmas is a heartwarming holiday feast for the entire family.
