Meg Martinez and Robert Kowalewski have the beautiful voices and theatrical skills to bring this treasured holiday favorite to life for Theatre in the Circle. <br class=""><br class="">O. Henry wrote “The Gift of the Magi” for his New York World column in December of 1905. The legendary Magi of the title brought precious gifts to an unknown babe in a manger. O. Henry felt the Magi typified gift-giving at its finest and purest form. The story of the love and selflessness of Della and Jim has endured for 112 years and was set to a beautiful musical score for piano, cello, harp and flute by Peter Ekstrom for Actors Theatre of Louisville in 1981. The story tells of a young, impoverished couple who can barely pay the rent, but love each other so much that they each sell their most cherished possession for the sake of their beloved.<br class=""><br class="">Ekstrom was born in Cleveland and grew up in nearby Painesville, Ohio. Mr. Ekstrom and Theatre in the Circle’s artistic director, Bill Corcoran, both have connections with the Actors Theatre of Lousville, still considered one of the finest regional theaters in the US. Mr. Corcoran periodically worked on Actors’ stages as pianist, arranger and musical director.</font></div><div style="font-size: 10pt;" class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 12pt;" style="font-size: 12pt;" class=""><font face="Hoefler Text" class=""> </font></span></div></div><div style="font-size: 10pt;" class=""><font face="Hoefler Text" class=""> </font></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt;"><b class=""><font face="Hoefler Text" class=""><br class=""></font></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class=""><b class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 24pt;" class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 18pt;" style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><font face="Hoefler Text" class="">Tickets: </font></span></span></span></b></div><div class=""><b class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 24pt;" class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 18pt;" style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><font face="Hoefler Text" class="">$18 - General Admission</font></span></span></span></b></div><div class=""><b class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 24pt;" class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 18pt;" style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><font face="Hoefler Text" class="">$15 - Seniors</font></span></span></span></b></div><div class=""><b class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 24pt;" class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 18pt;" style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><font face="Hoefler Text" class="">$12 - Student/Child</font></span></span></span></b></div><div style="font-size: 12pt;" class=""><b class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 14pt;" style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 24pt;" style="font-size: 24pt;" class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 18pt;" style="font-size: 18pt;" class=""><font face="Hoefler Text" class=""><br class=""></font></span></span></span></b></div><div style="font-size: 12pt;" class=""><i class=""><font face="Hoefler Text" class="">Get your tickets NOW!</font></i></div><div style="font-size: 12pt;" class=""><font face="Hoefler Text" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Hoefler Text" class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 14pt;" class="">To purchase tickets for this show </span><a href="http://theatreinthecircle.com/tickets.html" style="font-size: 12pt;" class="">CLICK HERE</a></font></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span mce_style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""><font face="Hoefler Text" class=""><br class=""></font></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Hoefler Text" class=""><span mce_style="font-size: 14pt;" class="">To learn more about the show </span><a href="http://theatreinthecircle.com/latest-news.html" style="font-size: 12pt;" class="">CLICK HERE</a></font></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Hoefler Text" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Hoefler Text" class="">To learn about the rest of our season <a href="http://theatreinthecircle.com/2017-2018-season.html" style="font-size: 12pt;" class="">CLICK HERE</a></font></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Hoefler Text" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Hoefler Text" class=""><br class=""></font></div></div><div style="font-size: 10pt;" class=""><font face="Hoefler Text" class=""> </font></div><div style="font-size: 10pt;" class=""><font face="Hoefler Text" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><div class=""><div _mce_style="margin-top: 0px;
