The Long Christmas Dinner Festival
The Thornton Wilder holiday classic The Long Christmas Dinner, first produced in 1931, will be presented by Crescent City Stage as a part of our “One Night Only…” series, joining more than 30 community-facing organizations all across the country this November and December in THE LONG CHRISTMAS DINNER FESTIVAL. The Festival, organized by the Wilder Estate, marks the beginning of a new tradition of sharing a holiday story with family and friends, alongside A Christmas Carol, The Nutcracker and Handel’s Messiah.
In the course of a single unbroken holiday meal, 90 years of a family’s history fly by in this moving, funny, sometimes sorrowful, ingeniously theatrical 40-minute one-act play.

THIS IS WHAT
THEATRE
FEELS LIKE
Something happens when you walk out of a Crescent City Stage production.
You might not be able to name it right away. It might follow you home. It might still be there the next morning, when you're pouring coffee and thinking about a line from the show.
That’s not an accident. It’s the whole point.
MAKE NEW ORLEANS A THEATRE TOWN
When you support CCS, you're paying an artist what they're worth — and making this city more of what it can be.
