Home for the Holidays

Written By Michael Walker
& Josh Levine

2026-27_Season Brochure_web_Home for the Holidays.png

Based right here in 1940s Tuscaloosa, this musical comedy features a team of plucky radio broadcasters that believe the show must go on despite an unexpected Southern snow storm, missing cast members, and a script that just keeps changing. This world-premiere, family-friendly holiday celebration features familiar tunes like "Sleigh Ride,” “Jingle Bells,” and “I’ll Be Home for Christmas!” Inspired by Tuscaloosa talent and traditions, this new musical is being crafted just for YOU!
