 | A Civil War Christmas "A rich and moving play with music . . . it taps into seasonal themes of redemption, forgiveness and community, with a decidedly American bent."-- Variety Set on a chilly Christmas Eve during the latter days of the Civil War, Paula Vogel's new pageant for the holiday season weaves a tapestry of both fictional and historical characters--together with period holiday music and lesser-known marches, hymns, and spirituals--to tell a story of peaceful companionship and communal hope. Paula Vogel 's plays include How I Learned to Drive (winner of the Pulitzer Prize, OBIE, Drama Desk, and New York Drama Critics awards), The Long Christmas Ride Home , The Mineola Twins , The Baltimore Waltz , Hot 'N' Throbbing , and Desdemona . She is chair of the playwriting department at the Yale School of Drama, and is playwright-in-residence at Yale Repertory Theatre. |
