Frequently Asked Questions

What is the show?

The 2024 Dinner Theatre show is The Gift of the Magi.

O. Henry’s classic tale of sacrifice, love, and grace is set during the financial crisis of 2008, which has made day-to-day life hard for almost everyone in the country. In Chicago, newlyweds, Jim and Della struggle to make ends meet while they celebrate their first Christmas together, 800 miles from their nearest family. Running on their dreams of the future, with full hearts and a nearly empty bank account, Jim and Della come to terms that neither can afford the gift that the other truly deserves. As the days and hours tick closer to Christmas, can Jim and Della find a way to give the gift that truly reflects how they feel?
