Set in Middletown, it follows the story of the Hill's during a difficult holiday season. Jim Hill, the father of the family, has lost his job due to the down turn of the economy. He has moved across country to take a job.

Judy Hill, the mother, learns disheartening news that she has been diagnosed with cancer. The Hill's children have difficulties adjusting to their new way of life. And finally, Judy's mother Charlotte has to deal with the pain of watching her family struggle through these difficult times. Along the way they meet a volunteer that helps the family find joy through the holidays. The show provides moments of hilarity with many supporting characters.

Thankfully, their town provides many positive opportunities to the family. The family learned the greatest gifts come from people with compassion. While this holiday season may not bring the most expensive gifts - The greatest gift is a community wrapped in love.

The Season for Performances

"Tis the season! Cab choirs, bands and performance groups are busy this month performing. For example, check out the news from Mr. Lassman's JazzChords and middle school choirs:

The JazzChords sang at the Arden Gild Hall on Saturday for the University A Cappella Festival. Also on the program were The Deaftones from the Westminster Choir College, Off the Beat from the University of Pennsylvania and The Tigertones from Princeton University. The Jazzchords held their own and one attendee said that we were her favorite. Nice!

Monday night, the 6th grade Vocal Music Majors will sing at The Lorelton, 2200 W. 4th Street, Wilmington at 7pm.

Wednesday night is Grotto Pizza Night. Eat at Grotto Pizza on Delaware Avenue, present our coupon, and 20% of your bill comes back to CCSA to help finance the Jazz Lab Band and JazzChords’ trip to DisneyWorld to compete in a national jazz competition.

Friday night, the JazzChords perform at Senator Carper’s Toys-for-Tots. Bring a toy for a child, meet Senator Carper, eat some awesome free food and listen to the JazzChords from 6-8pm at Arsht Hall, University of Delaware Campus in Wilmington, right across from Tower Hill School on Route 52.
