TWELVE DAYS
By Joe Slabe
December 5 - 21, 2024
A heartwarming new holiday musical co-produced with Forte Musical Theatre Guild.
1965. For Anton, studying music at McGill was his ticket off the farm. Stuck at school for the holidays, he wants to make Christmas special for Donna, the girl in the next practice room with big dreams for her musical career. Anton sets to work on making creative presents to charm Donna as they count down the twelve days to Christmas. But when his rival, Robert, invites Donna to spend Christmas with him at his family’s Toronto Mansion, Anton needs to decide how far he’s willing to go to give her the perfect gift.
