A World Premiere Play with Music!

How to Write a Holiday

By: Rachael VanWormer & Omri Schein
Directed by: Rachael VanWormer & Omri Schein

Inside the clicking and scrolling of our screen-centered contemporary lives, is there any room for a good old-fashioned holiday story anymore? Join the hilarity with the Christophersons as they face: a weekend without Wi-Fi, without phones, even without electricity! Is conversation enough to bridge connection? Will imagination spark reconciliation? Is the perfect family holiday even possible anymore? Find out in this surprising, genre-bouncing, creative comedy with music created especially for North Coast Rep that will warm your heart!

PG-13
