Dec 12 Friday
On December 12th & 13th, the production features a festive blend of holiday and popular music, comedy sketches, and storytelling, performed by a talented ensemble of regional and local musicians and actors. It’s a joyful celebration of the season and the spirit of community.
Jim Sullivan, Artistic Director of Rockford's New American Theater from 1972 to 1994, originally launched Hometown Holiday in 1994 and continued the tradition for 25 years before announcing its final curtain in 2019. However, overwhelming public demand led to a triumphant return in 2022. The community looks forward to Sullivan's return each year with this holiday event.
