Home for the Holidays:

A USO Christmas Spectacular

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 brand-new musical is being crafted just for YOU!
