THE GIFTS OF THE MAGI
ON SALE NOW!
This new musical by Randy Courts and Mark St. Germain brings to life a heart-warming, captivating musical treat, drawn from two short stories by the immortal O. Henry.

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, 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. The Gifts of the Magi is warmed by sentiment and humor, filled with lilting songs, and certain to please audiences of all ages.
