For years, Davis residents and visitors knew Downtown Tom a full-grown male turkey who roamed the city’s downtown streets, leaving an impression wherever he wandered. And while the real-life Tom met a somewhat inharmonious fate, he has inspired an assortment of stories sure to entertain generations to come.
Accomplished local director Krissy Schwerin has adapted a 10-minute mini-musical from a book about the turkey, written earlier this year by her husband, Jay Schwerin. She gathered some of the area’s top young musical-theater talent via online and individual on-location shoots to produce “Downtown Tom’s Christmas a Mini Musical.” The show is available online for free through Dec. 31 at MadeInDavis.net/Tom.
