The true spirit of the holiday season: joy, open hearts, kindness, and hope - and a reminder of our shared humanity. This - plus gorgeous choral singing and a whole lot of enthusiasm! - is what THE CHRISTMAS STORY brings us each December. This year THE CHRISTMAS STORY plays December 4-20 (Fri-Sat-Sun), at the historic Church Of the Holy Trinity, located on the West side of the Eaton Centre. Reservations are recommended via thechristmasstory.ca or 416-598-4521 Ext. 301 - Seating is general admission. Admission is also available at the door.
THE CHRISTMAS STORY shares the magic of the first Christmas aided by masterful musicians, the genuine excitement of its 100+ volunteer cast members (including a real baby in the role of Jesus!), beautiful costumes, and professional sound and lighting. THE CHRISTMAS STORY is one of Toronto's most beloved holiday traditions and is guaranteed to help you connect with the spirit of the season.
THE CHRISTMAS STORY has endured for 78 years through blizzards and ice storms. When a major fire destroyed the roof and south windows of the church in 1977 — leaving extensive smoke and water damage — the pageant was performed in the adjacent Eaton Centre! This year the church is undergoing major structural work to reinforce the north west tower so we've adjusted the seating and taken extra care to ensure that the pageant continues this year uninterrupted.
Please join us this December. Tradition, community, innocence, trembling nerves, miracles and soaring choral music: this not-to-be-missed nativity play is a calming antidote to a hectic season and a troubled world. It is a beautiful reminder that this is a season of blessings and new beginnings that we should all share with each other.
In that spirit, we have arranged for sign language interpretation (ASL) for two performances: Saturday, December 12th at 4:30 pm and Friday, December 18th at 7:30 pm.
