Coney Island Christmas is a heartwarming holiday show for all ages and faiths. A young Jewish girl is, much to the chagrin of her immigrant parents, cast as Jesus in the school’s Christmas pageant. Now in present day LA, she reminisces with her great-granddaughter about their collective pageant woes, and, along with a bit of holiday magic, both are brought back to 1935’s Brooklyn to relive the story! Pulitzer Prize-winner Donald Margulies weaves together a festive mix of nostalgia, music and merriment into a universal tale of what it means to be an American during the holidays.
