This glorious tapestry of the American experience weaves fact and fiction, old-time carols, and traditional tunes into a whimsical saga of a country longing for new hope. Set on a snowy Christmas Eve in Washington, 1864, it imagines celebrated figures from Lincoln and Whitman to John Wilkes Booth rubbing elbows with colorful characters drawn from every strata of society. Created by Pulitzer Prize-winner Paula Vogel, it is a heartwarming holiday feast for the entire family.
