THE STORY: When a baby boy is orphaned in the California Sierras on Christmas Eve, 1850, two curmudgeonly miners agree to raise him. A decade later, the boy’s idyllic life is interrupted by the arrival of a meddling aunt, who intends to take him back to Boston for a formal education and a life of success. Inspired by the stories of Bret Harte, The Christmas Foundling is a heartwarming holiday tale, with the love of a child at its center and an unlikely romance as its driving force.
“A captivating and heartwarming drama...” —Seattle Times.

“A theatrical nugget that’s virtually guaranteed to draw throngs year after year.” —Modesto Bee.
