Information about the Show

Step back in time to Christmas 1947 and experience a heartwarming holiday musical the whole family will love!

Inspired by Norman Rockwell’s iconic Saturday Evening Post covers, The Christmas Post brings the charm, music, and nostalgic humor of post-war America to life on stage.

Set in the bustling town of Homesboro, Indiana, the story follows Alice Garfield, a young widowed mother struggling to make ends meet and give her children a memorable holiday. When her job at Herzog’s Department Store hangs in the balance and a chaotic Christmas Eve rush threatens to ruin everything, Alice and her family face a true test of hope. But through the kindness of quirky neighbors, unexpected holiday miracles, and the warmth of a close-knit community, they rediscover the true spiritual meaning of the season.

Packed with Broadway-style songs and comedy, The Christmas Post is a joyful celebration of faith, family, and the power of love.
