TSO sprung from the visionary mind of late founder/composer/lyricist Paul O’Neil. The project gives 4! Of every ticket sold to local charity and has raised 16 million dollars in 25 years. O’Neil passed away in 2017.
TSO’s music director and lead guitarist Al Pitrelli said: “After an incredibly trying year for everyone, we are beyond excited to be able to say that we’re bringing ‘Christmas Eve And Other Stories’ back to all of you.
“We were amazed by the turnout for last year’s livestream and how many of you continued to celebrate this tradition we have created together.
“It’s been 25 years since Paul first introduced all of us to this timeless tale. Let’s celebrate this milestone event together.
“God bless and stay safe everyone.”
