Christmas time is a lonely time at the train station in the small town of Holly. That is, until Leo Tannenbaum shows up. The radio that hasn't work in years suddenly turns on, the local group of singers (that normally sounds like yowling cats being bathed) all of a sudden sounds like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Is it Leo? Is it magic? This nostalgic theatrical greeting card is full of eccentric small town characters, wise-cracking their way to finding the true wonder of Christmas.

Charles Ault, Sr. started The Player Guild in 1936 as a means to put food on the table in the middle of the depression. A love for the theatre and a creative mind brought a group of talented community actors and actresses together to provide the public with live entertainment. This concept was passed on to his son Charles Ault, Jr. who now runs The Players Guild. Now in its 73rd season.
