It’s the beginning of the last century, the “American century”, and a pair of newlyweds find themselves on the bad end of circumstance. Jim and Della Dillingham have moved to New York City with the optimism of a young nation, only to find themselves impoverished and embittered. And to top it off, Christmas is just around the corner. With only each other to cling to, this pair must somehow face the wilds of this urban jungle. Along the way, they encounter a funhouse of colorful characters, including a street bum whose only ambition is to get arrested! An emotional play with plenty of laughs, this O’ Henry classic is one you won’t want to miss. So join Jamie Stiles, Morgan Robbins, Anessa Van Horn, Karen Slikker, David Horton, and Joel Rievley in this holiday feast for the whole family.

The musical is directed by Hunter Rodgers. This program is funded with support from the Tennessee Arts Commission. For more information, go to www.tennesseevalleytheatre.com.
