WHAT'S IN YOUR STOCKING???
Our favorite couple, GEORGE and MARTHA, now divorced, have a continuing tradition of spending Christmas Eve together, with some friends. As is usual with these two, there's no telling in what direction the evening will go. AUSTIN PENDLETON and BARBARA BLEIER explore their relationship, history and holiday sentiments, through song and story. They include published and unpublished songs by Leonard Bernstein, Amanda McBroom, John Bucchino, Richard Maltby and David Shire, Michele Brourman, and Leonard Cohen, among others. BARBARA MAIER GUSTERN and PAUL GREENWOOD join them in the fun, fighting and festivities.
