Paducahâs Market House Theatre is striding forward into the realm of the digital as they launch âThe Christmas Book,â the playhouseâs first on-demand streaming production, this Friday.
Written and directed by the theaterâs executive director, Michael Cochran, the play follows a Midwest family in the 1940s that comes into contact with a mysterious and magical stranger during the holiday season.
âI wanted to take my chance and try to write a Christmas play but try to do something with a small cast that still had that traditional holiday story feel to it,â the director said. âItâs not about toys or anything like that. Itâs more about hope and love and who this strange guy is.â
