Singing the Charles Dickens Blues? “Nutcracker” got you down? Is the thought of one more Christmas ant enough to make you scream? Take a ride on “The Christmas Schooner!” This critically acclaimed holiday treat tells the true story of a Michigan shipping captain who braves the deadly winter weather to bring Christmas trees to homesick German American families in turn-of-the-century Chicago. His voyages become a yearly tradition despite his wife's misgivings – until a fateful voyage makes her realize the true importance of his mission. It’s not often a truly original holiday musical comes along, so its no surprise that with its powerful, moving story and exquisite score, “The Christmas Schooner” is already becoming a perennial holiday classic. This is family entertainment at its best: hearty and wholesome. Its flexible cast size makes it ideal for small theatres as well as schools, large community groups or regional theatres seeking to involve members of the community in their holiday production. The single piano accompaniment fits any budget, and with Transpositions On Demand, casting concerns are almost a thing of the past.
