A ship. A storm. And a Christmas tale of heroic proportions. This
heart-warming inspirational new musical is based on the true story of
Herman Schuenemann, known as Captain Santa, who goes down with his
ship on a storm in Lake Michigan – leaving his widow to raise their
daughters, run the family shipping business and continue her
husband’s mission of giving away thousands of Christmas trees to the
less fortunate of Chicago. Can she take on the doubters and naysayers,
or will she break under the pressures of widowhood, judgmental people
and the restrictive customs of the day? What Barbara Schuenemann and
her daughter Elsie do to resurrect Captain Santa’s legacy is nothing
short of a holiday miracle. Presented in partnership with Blue Gate
Musicals, this dramatic new musical is brought to life by a talented
cast of professionals – including several audience favorites and
veterans of the Bird-in-Hand Stage. Don’t miss this epic tale that
will remind us all of the importance of tradition, kindness and the
joy of Christmas. More Info »
