About the Show
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel weaves a rich tapestry of a beleaguered and divided nation, war-weary and desperate for goodwill, on a blustery Christmas Eve in 1864. Through the personal stories and struggles of a wide range of historical figures and fictional characters, from Mary Todd Lincoln to runaway slaves, Union and Confederate soldiers to Walt Whitman, we learn that the yearning for peace cuts across religious and class divisions, color lines, and the Mason-Dixon Line. Vogel's tender historical pageant weaves together real events and imagined fables, underscored with carols, spirituals, and folk tunes.
