The Gift of the Magi, 1885 takes the familiar short story by O. Henry and gives it a full Knott’s Merry Farm twist changing the setting from 1900s New York to Old Western Ghost Town with boysenberry references, to boot!

In this delightful Ghost Town twist on the classic tale, Della and Jim are two hard working citizens of Ghost Town who are both determined to make an extra special holiday for each other. Their earnest efforts to scrimp and save to make a special holiday end with a Christmas surprise that they will never forget.

The Gift of the Magi, 1885 is performed at the Bird Cage Theatre with typical showtimes of 12:45 pm 4:15 pm, and 7:00 pm during the Knott’s Merry Farm season but always check the app for showtimes on the day of your visit. The show may be dark on week days or have fewer showtimes.
