O CHRISTMAS TREE is an original holiday play about different cultures coming together to create a new holiday tradtion.

O CHRISTMAS TREE performances include a pre-show craft installation where guests create keepsake ornaments.

O CHRISTMAS TREE tells the story of Frankie (Phillip Andrew Santiago), an 8-year old Hialeah boy of Cuban, Catholic, and Jewish descent, who proposes starting a new family tradition when the lights dim on his family’s artificial tree. He prevails and an epic road trip ensues with him, his mom, Claudia (Angelina Lopez Catledge), and his grandma (Carol Sussman). In spite of a few obstacles on their drive to Gainesville, the family arrives safely at Unicorn Hill Christmas Tree Farm where they meet Farmer Tom and enjoy the truly magical Clark Griswoldesque experience of cutting down a live tree. A joyful exploration of multicultural December holiday traditions, O CHRISTMAS TREE will surely resonate with many South Floridians. The production includes live original music and a few treasured classics performed by Paul Curtis and Angelina Lopez Catledge of the band Hola, Hi (http://www.holahi.net).
