The Gifts of the Magi at Fredericksburg Theater Company

The Fredericksburg Theater Company presents their holiday musical, THE GIFTS OF THE MAGI. A new musical by Randy Courts and Mark St. Germain that brings to life a heart-warming, captivating musical treat drawn from two short stories by the immortal O. Henry. It is Christmas in New York, but for two young lovers, Jim (Elliott Dooley) and Della (Jorja Simpson-Hahn), the prospects are bleak, as both are out of work and penniless.

In addition to their story, there are glimpses of various city folk going about their holiday business, and the hilarious plight of a cheerful bum named Soapy (Ron Rickerhauser), who wants only to get arrested so he can spend the night in a cozy cell, all gracefully enhanced by tuneful songs and neatly tied together by a newsboy-narrator, Willy (Will Vaughan). The Gifts of the Magi is warmed by sentiment and humor, filled with lilting songs, and certain to please audiences of all ages.

Join us this holiday season as the Fredericksburg Theater Company presents our gift to the community. Each performance will feature an audience carol sing-along. Come ready to make your own music of the season. There will be treats for the whole family including Christmas cookies and mulled wine. As soon as you walk through the doors of the Steve W Shepherd Theater, you will be in the holiday spirit.
