On Stage Saturday: "Home for Christmas"

 

   Sorry to have been quiet lately, but I've been hard at work putting the final pieces together for this Saturday's Home for Christmas concert, which will feature some of First Stage's Theatre Company's talented alumni.

   It's a fun project we kicked off last year as a way to raise money to pay for the new home for the children's theatre - and it also gave us a good excuse to bring back some of our talented "kids" (now all grown up) to share their talents again with a Tri-State audience.

   I admit that I was a bit nervous last year before the first rehearsal. Would anyone show up? Would the show work? It was all done in a short period of time, and we'd never tried it before.

   I'm happy to report that it was a blast! As soon as everyone gathered, the laughter and stories flowed, and the performances were terrific! It was a great success.

   During intermission, I heard one person say, "The talent on stage is amazing! Huntington doesn't know what it's missing!"

   We have another amazing lineup taking the stage this Saturday, too - and I certainly hope everyone reading these words can make it to the show.

   It's one performance only, starting at 7:30 p.m. at Huntington's City Hall auditorium. It's a Christmas concert (though we have a few surprises in store). Tickets are just $12 for adults, $10 for senior citizens and $8 for children - they're available at the door.

   I admit prejudice, but I guarantee you'll have a good time. If this concert doesn't put you in the holiday spirit, nothing will!
