NEW! The Christmas Rush
October 30 – December 31, 2026
Attention shoppers—and showgoers! On the day before Christmas, the biggest department store in a small American town has announced a Last-Minute Madness Sale. Will the harried staff be able to handle the onslaught? Will the Santa in the lobby raise enough to save the town’s soup kitchen? And will the recently widowed Alice and her daughter find what they are so desperately seeking?
This brand-new show from Blue Gate Musicals is big on laughs, full of heart and has a score that sounds like it stepped right off the Broadway stage. Give yourself a gift and make sure to see The Christmas Rush!
All she needed was 3 more hours, 2 more gifts and 1 small miracle!
