And I’m Home: A Holiday Radio Play 
by Stephen Allred, Michael Clark, and Melanie Reid

And I’m Home: A Holiday Radio Play is a musical journey through vignettes that capture the humour, warmth, and emotion of the holiday season. From adapting to new family traditions and navigating parent-child dynamics, to honouring loved ones and overcoming holiday travel woes, each segment highlights relatable experiences. The play concludes with a heartfelt ensemble song celebrating the enduring spirit and magic of Christmas. 

Directed by Stephen Allred, and read by Marissa Dingle, Todd Hauck, Marie Hill, Bella King, Elizabeth Marsh, Aran Wilson-McAnally, and Cooper Rajotte. Music by Michael Clark (piano) and Nicholas Yee (cello).
