The Gifts of the Magi: New Musical Based on O. Henry Holiday Stories is available today for FREE for a couple of performances. Based on a pair of O. Henry holiday stories, this magical new musical from the award-winning team of Mark St. Germain (Freud’s Last Session) and Randy Courts (Johnny Pye and the Foolkiller) premieres in Chicago, courtesy of the city’s acclaimed Porchlight Music Theatre. Set in 1905 New York, a pair of struggling newlyweds make personal sacrifices to purchase presents for one another, before realizing that their love and devotion are the true gifts of the season. And in another of the author’s ironic masterpieces, The Cop and the Anthem, a cheerful hobo does his best to get arrested so he can spend Christmas in a nice, warm jail cell.
