Spirit of the Yule at Key City Public Theatre

Celebrate the holiday season with Key City Public Theatre as they bring back 2016’s award winning holiday musical, Spirit of the Yule. Directed and co-written by KCPT's Artistic Director, Denise Winter, with music and lyrics by acclaimed local composer, Linda Dowdell, Spirit of the Yule is a new take on Dickens' A Christmas Carol, set in historic Port Townsend, when the lumber boomtown was eagerly awaiting the railroad connection that would make it the preeminent port city in the Pacific Northwest. This musical is steeped in the history and cultural legacy that defined Port Townsend as "the city of dreams." But more than rooted in this town, Spirit of the Yule takes inspiration from Dickens to recast an old tale in the familiar trappings of the American west. Expansion and speculation, boom and bust loom large in this frontier tale.
