Description

Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies weaves together nostalgia, music and merriment in the Bay Area premiere of this new seasonal classic. A holiday show for people of all ages and all faiths, Coney Island Christmas introduces us to Shirley Abramowitz, a young Jewish girl who (much to her immigrant parents' exasperation) is cast as Jesus in the school's Christmas pageant. In the spirit of last season's Christmas Shorts, the play features not one, but two "endearingly inept" holiday showcases, with young Shirley in the leading roles. As Shirley, now much older, recounts the memorable story to her great-granddaughter, the play captures a timeless and universal tale of what it means to be an American during the holidays.
