Hometown Christmas Carol — Barbara Miller

Angela Fell, a professional, no-nonsense, New York playwright, returns to her hometown, Median, Pennsylvania to care for her injured father. But she also wants to make amends to Rich Harris, the boyfriend she dumped in high school; the guy who screwed up her senior play, and the man she never stopped loving.

Rich is now a well-liked teacher at the Meridian High School and in charge of the town's Christmas pageant, which needs a one-act play. Angela has written a short Christmas play intended as an apology for the mean way she previously treated Rich. At home in Meridian, after the Thanksgiving dinner, she urges Rich, his sister, her father and brother to do a reading of her play in the hopes it will demonstrate she has changed -- and she still loves Rich.
