   Grandma Walker, a recent widow so swept up in the grief of loss, has barely noticed the
   holiday season at all. Her family surprises her, bringing food, music, and lots of laughter into
   the house. This contemporary gospel musical celebrates the bonds of family, the power of
   faith and the strength of tradition, showcasing the best jazz and gospel singers of the Twin
   Cities and the stirring choreography of TU Dance.
