There’s no place like home for the holidays.

And the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet honored that theme on Monday night with a drama brought to life by local actors, a concert showcasing local musical artists and a tree lighting in the rotunda before the holiday performance began.

Stacy Sienko, music director at the Cathedral of Saint Raymond Nonnatus in Joliet, coordinated the event.
