Adapted by Randy Courts and Mark St. Germain from a story by O. Henry Musical Director: George Bailey One more week-end to see "The Gifts of the Magi." East County Magazine calls it a "Timeless Christmas Romance."

Follow Della and Jim Dillingham, who are straining to hold on to their dream of making it in New York, as they struggle with unemployment and the pressure to find each other the perfect gift.
