LIGHTS
by Michael Grady
An Angel appears to Leonard Tchernik in a vision. He tells the retired father of three God wants an enormous Christmas lights display on his roof. Building it will reveal the holiday’s true meaning to Leonard, who first must perform the miracle of convincing his family. With great effort, he enlists his stunned and conflicted adult children to capture Christmas in lights, though one of them is now Jewish. This delightfully poignant holiday comedy explores the love of family, the power of faith, and who you can shove off the roof.
