HCP Holiday Reading
Written By: Jenny King | Issue: 2016/12 - December
It wouldn’t seem like the holidays without the Highlands Cashiers Players’ annual Holiday Reading. This 20th incarnation of this free event will be held at 7:00 P.M. Thursday, December 15, at the Highlands Performing Arts Center on Chestnut Street.
As HCP’s way of saying thank you to the community, they bring to the stage readings and holiday music certain to boost everyone’s spirits. The dramatic reading is always a much-anticipated event, as HCP gathers community members as well as some of their best performers to read from seasonal literature. This year’s reading will be taken from “The Loudest Voice.” It’s a humorous and touching story about a young girl who is chosen to narrate the school Christmas pageant.
Last year’s addition of the singing group Mountain Voices was such a hit the chorus will once again be joining the festivities. Mountain Voices, under the direction of Beverly Barnett, is a glorious joining of 50 voices from Highlands, Franklin, Rabun Gap, and Clayton and are accompanied on piano by Arthea Brimmer.
Their arrangements of sacred and popular holiday songs delight and inspire audiences around the area and will surely start your season off right.
After the program, audience members are invited to enjoy refreshments downstairs in the PAC reception room. No tickets are required, so wear your most festive (or ugliest) holiday sweater and bring the family to the annual Highlands Cashiers Players Holiday Reading. For more information, call (828) 526-8084 or visit HighlandsCashiersPlayers.org. The event is being produced by both the Highlands Performing Arts Center and HCP.
