J.R. Sullivan's Hometown Holiday

12/13/2025

🌟 Last night, Rockford showed up. Warm crowd, belly laughs, the kind of storytelling that sticks with you on the walk back to the car.

And we’re not done yet.

J.R. Sullivan’s Hometown Holiday returns for one final performance 🎭 — a Saturday matinee filled with music, memories and a few surprises better experienced than explained. If you missed opening night, this is your chance to catch the magic while it’s still on stage.

Dec 13 • 3 PM
Sullivan Theater, RPL Nordlof Center
Tickets: $35 at J. R. Kortman Center for Design and

Stage: set. Wardrobe: tailored. Props: collected. Songs: sung. Lines: memorized... mostly.

Our star-studded cast put in a final dress rehearsal this afternoon. Now the only ingredient that Hometown Holiday 2025 is missing... is you!

Grab a friend and get out of the cold tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Join us as we celebrate the season in stories and songs. Tickets available, for now.
