Description

Before he penned Our Town, Thornton Wilder wrote this holiday masterpiece in which audiences, over 40 minutes, get to watch four generations of a family come and go, discovering which traditions endure, and leaving the theater seeing themselves and their own families more clearly.

Join us for a reading of this holiday story, sponsored by the Simpson College Theatre Club, Simpson Productions, and the Theatre Seminar class.

Staged reading will be performed in Barnum Theatre. Tickets are free, but reservations are required.

The Long Christmas Dinner is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.

Tickets for good, not greed Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity

Founded in 2019, Simpson productions is an interdisciplinary, collaborative partnership between the departments of Theatre and Music at Simpson College. Previously two separate production entities, this merger of theatrical and operatic programming fosters greater creativity and connectivity across the college, allowing us to share resources, experiences and talents of students and professors alike. We seek to offer innovative and diverse programming to both the Simpson community and the greater Central Iowa region, keeping out college's values of curiosity, discovery, and integrity at the core.
