Shenandoah Valley Premiere

At a busy airport on Christmas Eve, the lives of an opinionated Italian mother, a young man with big dreams, a pregnant mother, an Army Sergeant, and a champion turkey caller become entangled as they encounter more and more obstacles to making it home for Christmas. Can the newly divorced gate agent maintain her Christmas spirit, and her professionalism, amidst the chaos?

I’ll Be Home for Christmas premiered at the Barter Theatre, Abingdon, Virginia as part of their 90th season.
