This glorious musical comedy/drama tells the story of Mr. Holliday, a cynical University professor tasked with putting on a Christmas Musical Production. Due to past traumatic incidents in his life, Mr. Holliday finds he just can’t seem to get in the holiday spirit.

Through visits from three Angels, Mr. Holliday may find his Christmas spirit and much, much more. This production includes such an awesome cast and refreshing musical score that anyone present will be undoubtedly glued to their seats for the entire show.

K.C. Austin the playwright and Steve Cleveland seemingly defy categorization. Written with heart, In Harm’s Way isn't just impressive for its well-balanced drama and comedy. Its ability to have no particular targeted audience allows anyone who comes to see the show to see themselves in the eyes of these characters. This musical stage play certainly can be enjoyed by anyone who has ever experienced family dysfunction!

All aspects of this show make the production a refreshing surprise.
