The Gift of the Magi
Get into the holiday spirit by joining 4 Community Theatre this holiday season for a sentimental story about love and giving. Brimming with the spirit of giving and the warmth of a classic romance, “The Gift of the Magi” is a magnificent, early American alternative to popular seasonal fare. O. Henry’s story has captivated readers for more than a century and now the talented company at 4 Community Theatre is sharing their stage version ready to delight audiences of all ages. Magi tells the story of Della (Laura Smith) and Jim (Dylan Mika), who are desperately in love with each other but also very poor. In their attempts to buy each other proper Christmas gifts, a strange twist of fate leads the couple to find the perfect gifts for one another — but at an unexpected cost. Though they may not have the Christmas they anticipated, the couple learns about the importance of the gift of love in this beautiful adaptation of the short story by O. Henry. Gift of the Magi will be performed in local area churches first in Delano, in conjunction with the Old Fashioned Christmas celebration, then in Rockford, and Buffalo, the first three weekends in December of 2021.
Gift of the Magi will be directed by Jack Neveaux, featuring many 4 Community Theatre regulars including Nancy Lipinski (Twelfth Night, The Glass Menagerie, True West, Gamma Rays), Laura Smith (Little Shop of Horrors, Camelot, Annie Get Your Gun) Jakob Gomez (The Glass Menagerie, True West), Dylan Mika (Seussical). This production will also feature Kerstin Deters-Engel’s first time on stage as she takes a break from her usual duties as 4CT’s front of house manager. Gift of the Magi will be narrated by Rick Lamers.

4 Community Theatre will continue to follow our existing COVID-19 Safety Procedures in order to prioritize the health and safety of our cast, crew, and audiences. As an organization we continue to follow guidelines and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention and the Minnesota Department of Health.
Due to the high-transmission rate of the Delta variant and the increasing case numbers of COVID-19 in the state of Minnesota, 4CT has updated our COVID-19 Safety Procedures to better reflect the guidelines and recommendations of the CDC and Minnesota Department of Health. As of August 17, 2021, 4CT requires proof of vaccination from every member of our cast, crew, volunteers, directors, and production teams in order to perform or rehearse unmasked. Being fully vaccinated means that you have received the final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days before providing your proof of vaccination. We are requiring a physical card be presented to stage management in order to prove vaccination. Anyone who does not wish to provide proof of vaccination will be required to rehearse and perform while wearing a mask.
