THE CHRISTMAS SHOES
The Christmas Shoes follows the lives of two very different families whose paths cross at a pivotal moment on Christmas Eve. The Andrews family, facing hardship yet holding tightly to love, is doing its best to cherish each day. The Layton family, though surrounded by comfort and success, is quietly drifting apart under the weight of busyness and unspoken distance.
When young Nathan Andrews sets out on a heartfelt mission, his simple act of love unexpectedly intersects with attorney Robert Layton’s hurried world. What unfolds is a moving reminder of shared humanity, the value of slowing down, and the surprising ways grace can break through when we least expect it.
Adapted for the stage by Jessica Lind Peterson from Donna VanLiere’s New York Times bestselling novel, The Christmas Shoes invites audiences into a story of compassion, awakening, and the true spirit of Christmas—where even the smallest gesture can change a life.
