A HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

This holiday play is perfect for the whole family and is both heartfelt and funny. A group of people without homes who seek shelter from a Thanksgiving blizzard not only find a house but create a home to help them weather their emotional scars. They then discover that a jealous neighbor is willing to destroy the home and family that they have worked so hard to create.

Written by Ann Eskridge and Directed by Karin Babbitt
