THE GIFTS OF THE MAGI is a combination of those beautiful stories we grew up with – the down-on-their-luck couple who have no Christmas present for each other, and the gentlemanly bum who just can’t get arrested so he can enjoy a warm cell and three square meals for the holiday. This is a little gem of a musical that brings a fresh, bright glow to the holiday season. Bring the whole family!!
