DIRECTIONS
Omaha-original, interconnected holiday stories and music combining humor, warmth, drama (and a few frights) celebrating how we relate, flourish, and even mourn together—both inside and out of the twine of the MANY holidays that connect one year to the next.
A true partnership production, Holiday Lites weaves the technological artistry and beauty of the newly renovated Benson Theatre with the immersive charm of the Brigit Saint Brigit Theatre Company to create a magical delight and truly eclectic evening of live theatre that invites the audience into the world of the play. Holiday Lites is unlike anything you’ll find this festive season!
