Second Street Players’ “Coney Island Christmas” cast members Steven Haber, left, of Rehoboth Beach and EJ Panico of Seaford portray Mr. and Mrs. Abramowitz, grocery store owners in 1935 Coney Island.

Milford’s Second Street Players will present their 2025 holiday production of “Coney Island Christmas” with shows from Friday to Sunday, Nov. 28 to 30 and Dec. 5 to 7, at the Riverfront Theater, 2 South Walnut St., Milford. Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7 p.m., and Sunday shows begin at 2 p.m. Seats are $27, with a $2 discount available to seniors, students and SSP theater members.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Donald Margulies weaves together nostalgia, music and merriment in this new seasonal classic story, directed by Rachel Loper of Milford and John H. Hulse of Rehoboth Beach. A holiday show for people of all ages and all faiths, “Coney Island Christmas” introduces Shirley Abramowitz, a young Jewish girl who, much to her parents’ displeasure, is cast as Jesus in the school’s Christmas pageant. As a much-older Shirley recounts this fond memory to her great-granddaughter, the story comes to life and captures a timeless and universal tale of holiday traditions.
