New Musical: True North

True North
A Magical New Holiday Musical
Book, Lyrics and Music by Holly Reed, Music by Kelvin Reed

Every Christmas, an elite team of North Pole elves deploys to the Southern Yonder to care for families who need hope the most.

But when seasoned agent Charley Tinseltoes bends the rules to help his family, he sets off a chain of events that could change Christmas forever.

Blending heart, humor, and a touch of holiday wonder, True North is a joy-filled new Christmas musical about the power of belief, the strength of family, and finding your way—no matter how lost you feel.

True North. Follow the magic home.

There is a talkback following the show on Saturday, January 24.
