A Shipshape Christmas

By Jamie Kauffold | Nov. 18, 2023

The Christmas Schooner sails into town, reminding us of tradition, family, and responsibility when a Michigan shipping captain braves the deadly winter weather to bring Christmas trees to homesick German-American families in turn-of-the-century Chicago. The musical will be performed at Traverse City’s Old Town Playhouse Nov. 24-25, Nov. 30, Dec. 1-2, and Dec. 8-9 at 7:30pm; and Nov. 26, Dec. 3, and Dec. 9 at 2pm. $33 adults; $20 under 18. oldtownplayhouse.com
