Theatre in the Circle presents THE GIFT OF THE MAGI A holiday musical based on O. Henry's famous Christmas story By Peter Ekstrom Directed by Bill Corcoran Produced by Mark Corcoran December 14 - 17 Thursday, Friday & Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Saturday & Sunday at 2:00 p.m. Ample Free Parking <http://theatreinthecircle.com/contact.html> The perfect couple for this timeless tale of completely unselfish love . . . 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. 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. 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. Tickets: $18 - General Admission $15 - Seniors $12 - Student/Child Get your tickets NOW!
