In watching the opening night performance of Northumberland Players’ highly anticipated production of ‘Chicago’, I couldn’t help but make two connections – what it’s like to be a child and an adult on Christmas morning waiting to open gifts.

When you’re a child, the gift is perfect no matter how it may look. I was far more interested on what was inside. As an adult now looking back, something has changed. It’s not the gift that I recall but it’s the love, the contentment, the appreciation and the thanksgiving behind Christmas and the giving of that gift.
