The Twelve Dates of Christmas Play
November 7 – December 27
Playhouse in the Park
Starting at $39

See The Twelve Dates of Christmas at Playhouse in the Park from November 7 through December 27
After seeing her fiancé kissing another woman on the televised Thanksgiving Day Parade, Mary’s life falls apart – just in time for the holidays. Newly single, she stumbles through the emotional, and often comically absurd, minefield of the dating world over the next year.
Each milestone on the calendar brings misadventures: Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and St. Patrick’s Day are marked by awkward dates; wedding season in June delivers its own string of disappointments; and Halloween proves to be an outright horror. Until the following Christmas arrives and an unexpected encounter opens her heart and a new way forward. This heartfelt one-woman comedy brings humor and a fresh, modern spirit to the holiday season.
ADVISORY
The Twelve Dates of Christmas is recommended for older teenage and adult audiences. As a newly single woman navigates her life post breakup, she journeys into the dating world and describes her mishaps with adult relationships using strong language and providing strong laughs.
