These two one acts are published under the title AN O. HENRY CHRISTMAS by Samuel French, Inc. The shows can be done separately or together, with doubling or with two casts. The order of the one acts can be changed: we have found that MAGI generally works better to open the evening. You can title it as published, or call it AN EVENING WITH O. HENRY or simply by the titles on the CD. The shows work well any time of the year.
