Fresh off a stint directing Parcel From America in New York City, Rockford's own legendary thespian, J.R. Sullivan is coming home for the holidays, bringing an all-new edition of his beloved Hometown Holiday to the Sullivan Theater at the RPL Nordlof Center!

Join J.R. and his merry company of talented local and regional performers for a joyful mix of holiday and popular music, laugh-out-loud comedy, heartwarming stories and a few surprises along the way.

A Rockford tradition dating back to 1994, Hometown Holiday is freshly written and produced anew each year and filled with the warmth, wit and wondrous spirit of the season. For J.R., founder of Rockford's renowned New American Theater, it's a chance to celebrate the hometown that gave him his theatrical start and his artist's heart. Above all else, it is a meaningful gift to his beloved adopted hometown. For the rest of us, it's a chance to shake up a little holiday magic with family, friends and neighbors. Don't miss it!
