Coney Island Christmas

Desert Stages Theatre
4720 N Scottsdale Rd Scottsdale

A young Jewish girl gets cast as Jesus in her school's Christmas pageant in Coney Island Christmas, a seasonal story for people of all ages and faiths by Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies. Weaving together nostalgia, music and merriment, the play picks up many decades later, criss-crossing through time as Shirley Abramowitz recounts this memorable bit of autobiography -- as well as her immigrant parents' astonished reactions -- to her great-granddaughter. Don't miss this timeless and universal tale of what it means to be an American during the holidays as it plays at Desert Stages Theatre's Actor's Café in Scottsdale.
