A Civil War Christmas
Alder Stage
1516 SW Alder St. Portland
Written by the brilliant Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel, A Civil War Christmas is not your typical holiday musical but rather a stirring assemblage of folk songs, spirituals, carols and powerful tales set in the throes of the bloodiest war in American history. It's Christmastime in the final days of the Civil War, and President Lincoln is trying to heal the wounds of a nation broken by conflicting ideologies and a contentious election. Families, former slaves, Union and Confederate soldiers, friends and neighbors must come to grips with the legacy that has been created by four years of war -- but hope shines through, even in the darkest of times. Enjoy this co-production of A Civil War Christmas from Artists Repertory Theatre and Staged! at Portland's Alder Stage.
