Street Theatre Company presents its original production of classic O. Henry stories, written and adapted for the stage by Nashville playwright Scott Hutcheson (of the recently produced Alice in Wonderland, a Musical), and presented for a holiday season run December 10-18.

This cast features 20 area teenagers and eight children, as well as Judy and Ken Jackson, two of Nashville"s favorite adult actors.
