Synopsis of the show:
Winter is everyone's favorite time of year in the village of Everytown- Since as long as anyone can remember, every year on January 32, the magical Gift Tree has given a present to each and every citizen of Everytown. Whatever they asked for, large or small, the Gift Tree gave it to them. Butthis year, there is only ONE present on the tree. And what's worse, there isn't a name on it! Who could it be for? Who decides who gets it? What could it be? And most important, what's wrong with the tree? Committees are assembled, task forces are formed, and the town is galvanized into action while a group of unlikely heroes are travel the world, trying to solve the problem. With a script by playwright Tyler Olsen, and an original score by composer Eric Barnum, this multi-generational musical is sure to be a wonderful winters' tale for the whole family to enjoy!
