About This Show

The Christmas Schooner, Chicago’s most loved homegrown holiday classic, returns to the Bailiwick Arts Center for the 7th annual presentation. The award-winning musical, with Music and Lyrics by Julie Shannon and Book by John Reeger, tells the true Chicago stories of the pioneering families that braved the icy waters of Lake Michigan to bring Christmas in the 19th century. Phil Gigante directs.
