Leslie Arden & David Nairn team up once again, in Theatre Orangeville's world premiere production of The Gift Of The Magi. Directed by Theatre Orangeville Artistic Director, David Nairn, The Gift Of The Magi marks Arden's first-ever Christmas musical. This heartwarming musical is adapted from two famous O. Henry short stories, one of the same name. The Gift Of The Magi follows a down-on-their-luck couple going to great lengths to find the perfect gift for each other. Jimmy Valentine has been on the wrong side of the law his entire life and the beautiful Della has never met a man she could love. In keeping with the spirit of Christmas, they just might discover that the best gifts truly come from the heart.
No stranger to Theatre Orangeville, The Gift Of The Magi marks Arden's third world premiere show at the Opera House. Arden collaborated with Playwright Norm Foster in 1997 to develop Theatre Orangeville's world premiere musical,The Last Resort.
