Victorian Christmas Cards
Six Christmas Cards. Six Playwrights. Six New Plays!
Written by Shanna Allman, Henry Brown, Jay Cross, Kate Danley, Buffy Sedlachek, and Scott Zenreich Directed by Rowan Gallagher, Christopher Kidder-Mostrom, Hannah Lund, Jane Ryan, Catherine Blake Smith, and Kirsten Traylor-Thorson Choreography by Jacq Babb The tradition of sending greeting cards at Christmas time got its start during Queen Victoria's reign. While it is a tradition still enjoyed today, we've come a long way since those first cards were sent through the post to bring holiday cheer.
The cards of yesteryear feature artwork that may be surprising: both joyously and shockingly so! We celebrate the holidays by embracing the spirit of Christmas Cards as they once were! |
