Description

Performance will take place at 1890 House Museum (37 Tompkins St. Cortland) Come be part of the audience for a recording of a LIVE Radio Play! "The Gift of the Magi" is a short story by O. Henry first published in 1905. The story tells of a young husband and wife and how they deal with the challenge of buying secret Christmas gifts for each other with very little money. As a sentimental story with a moral lesson about gift-giving, it has been popular for adaptation, especially for presentation at Christmas time. The plot and its twist ending are well known; the ending is generally considered an example of comic irony. The story was allegedly written at Pete's Tavern[2] on Irving Place in New York City. The story was initially published in The New York Sunday World under the title "Gifts of the Magi" on December 10, 1905. It was first published in book form in the O. Henry anthology The Four Million in April 1906. Broadcasting on Christmas Day! 12:00pm  WGVA 106.3FM/1240AM  WAUB 96.3 FM/1590AM 6:00pm Always Classic 101.5FM
