Civil War Christmas: An American Musical Celebration

November 19–December 22

A Civil War Christmas
By Paula Vogel
Choreographed by Liz Lerman
Directed by Rebecca Taichman

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel spins a musical tale of hope and forgiveness. It’s a bitterly cold Christmas Eve in 1864 and all along the Potomac, from the White House to the battlefields, friends and foes alike find their lives strangely and poetically intertwined. Weaving together carols, and folk songs, this “beautifully stitched tapestry of American lives” (The New York Times) is sure to become a new holiday classic for the entire family.
