The Flight Before Xmas

By Maggie Lee, Directed by Amy POisson

macha theatre works 2019-2020 season

With all the stress of the holidays, spending Christmas Eve stranded in an airport with a bunch of strangers is the last thing anyone needs! With endless delays, kids shuttling between stepfamilies, a rogue cat on the loose, an important business deal at stake, and missing your grandson’s first Christmas morning, the holiday spirit can disappear quicker than your lost luggage. But sometimes, all you need is to be a little late in order to truly appreciate what you’re rushing toward.
A heartwarming modern holiday show about finding your way home and the family we discover for ourselves.
