Two Different Experiences . . . One Profound Message!
Auditions for our Christmas Concert and Christmas Mainstage are here!
The Gift Of Christmas
In a season that can feel overwhelming with endless obligations, financial pressure, and the struggle to create "perfect" holidays, The Gift of Christmas offers a different path forward . . . celebrating the gifts that truly matter.
This moving Christmas concert acknowledges that the holidays aren't always easy. For some, Christmas means missing loved ones who can't be there. For others, it's navigating complicated family dynamics or feeling lonely despite being surrounded by activity. Many feel exhausted by the pressure to buy more, do more, and be more during an already stressful season. And at the same time, many love the season, the merriment, and the joy the season brings.
Through beloved Christmas music, the concert explores the gifts that cost nothing but mean everything, culminating in the ultimate Gift, The Reason for the Season, where peace is offered when holidays feel chaotic, love when families feel fractured, and hope when seasons feel dark.
Whether your Christmas feels joyful, difficult, or somewhere in between, this concert creates space for your actual story while reminding you that the most precious gifts can't be purchased . . . they can only be shared.

A Christmas Carol
In this beloved Christmas tale, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley and three spirits - Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Through these supernatural encounters, Scrooge journeys through memories, witnesses the joy he's missing, and sees the bleak future that awaits if he doesn't change. This timeless story reminds us that it's never too late to find redemption, discover our humanity, and learn what truly matters most.
About This Production
Broadway luminaries Alan Menken (Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Disney's The Little Mermaid, Little Shop of Horrors) and Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime, Anastasia, Once on This Island) breathe fresh new life into the timeless tale.
With soaring songs and a script that is simple for every character, A Christmas Carol reminds us that it is never too late to seek redemption, rediscover our humanity, and realize what truly matters most.
