  3. A Civil War Christmas: An American Musical Celebration


It's 1864, and Washington, D.C. is settling down to the coldest Christmas Eve in years. In the White House, President and Mrs. Lincoln plot their gift-giving. On the banks of the Potomac, a young rebel challenges a Union blacksmith's mercy. In the alleys downtown, an escaped slave loses her daughter just before finding freedom. This musical by Pulitzer Prize–winner Paula Vogel intertwines many lives in a hopeful season in one of the country’s darkest times.
Ages: Recommended for audiences 13 and up.

Children under the age of 5 are not allowed in the theater.
