This critically acclaimed holiday treat tells the true story of a Michigan shipping captain who braves the deadly winter weather to bring Christmas trees to homesick German American families in turn-of-the-century Chicago. His voyages become a yearly tradition despite his wife's misgivings - until a fateful voyage makes her realize the true importance of his mission. It's not often a truly original holiday musical comes along, so its no surprise that with its powerful, moving story and exquisite score, "The Christmas Schooner" is already becoming a perennial holiday classic. This is family entertainment at its best: hearty and wholesome.
