Directed by Marcie Warner, The Homecoming is a heartwarming family story from Earl Hamner Jr.s novel, to the teleplay, to the stage (adapted by Christopher Sergel), the story takes place one Christmas Eve in 1933. The Spencer family ("Walton" in the TV series) awaits the return of their father who has found scarce available work many miles from home. With anxious anticipation, his eight children and their mother prepare for Christmas with the uncertainty of their father and husbands return in the midst of a winter snow storm. The eldest son, who also narrates the tale, is sent out to find his father, encountering many of the towns characters, as well as some revelations about them, himself, and the man for whom he is searching. It is a perfect get you in the mood for the holidays experience that will be sure to please Playhouse audiences.
