Come see the memories of Laura Ingalls Wilder brought to life on stage by the Union Street Players!  In the play, the Ingalls family is preparing for Christmas in the harsh Minnesota prairie.  It is cold and lonely with few people around except for the Norwegian family living nearby.  When Pa leaves for town and a blizzard bears down, the women must wait and pray that he is safe and will return in time for Christmas.  Based on LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE by Laura Ingalls Wilder and adapted for the stage by Lisa Cordes, the play will delight audiences of all ages. .
