Stage West proudly presents The Long Christmas Ride Home by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Paula Vogel, a magically theatrical play in which the cast is composed of actors … and life-size puppets!

Past and present collide on a snowy Christmas Eve for a troubled family of five. Humorous and heart-wrenching, this beautifully written play proves that magic can be found in the simplest breaths of life. Combining the elements of No theatre and Bunraku with contemporary Western sensibilities, Vogel’s script is a mesmerizing homage to the works of Thornton Wilder, including Our Town. A moving and memorable study of the American family careening near the edge of oblivion …

“One of the most absorbing evenings of theatre to come along in some time.” – Variety
