The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents the holiday play, "The Gift of the Magi". Exciting and heartwarming, this new theatrical adaptation by director Phillip Korth brings to life Della and Jim’s fateful Christmas together in New York City at the turn of the 20th century.
The production’s playwright and director, Phillip Korth, is thrilled by the opportunity to bring one of his favorite short stories to life with such a dedicated and talented group of student actors.
The play runs 30 minutes and will be entertaining and meaningful for audiences of all ages.
In addition to being The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep’s Education Associate, Korth is an award-winning playwright and a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, who says he “loves nothing more than hearing and telling stories”. “I really look at this production as an intersection of literature and theatre, and the original story by O.
Henry is one of the best of its kind in American fiction,” he says. “The fact that we have the opportunity to bring his words and characters to life onstage is very exciting.” The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep proudly delivers high-quality theatre instruction and six student theatre productions throughout the year, offering accessible and fun training for various age groups.
