Washington Irving's Old Christmas at Tacoma Little Theatre

A young gentleman traveling through the English countryside on Christmas Eve encounters a British friend quite by chance, who invites him home for the Yuletide holiday. Written well over a century ago, Washington Irving's Old Christmas "celebrates the celebration" with heartwarming descriptions of Yuletide events and colorful characterizations: a Christmas Eve trip by a stagecoach filled with "rosy-cheeked" school boys, scenes of domestic hilarity during holiday games, a solemn services at the village church, and the return home to a sumptuous holiday dinner. Read by a cast of voices as varied and delightful as the characters they describe, this adaptation by Judy Cullen will fill you with good cheer and holiday delight.
