Holiday Readings & Music
Written By: Jenny King | Issue: 2016/11 - November
Feeling Grinchy this year? Not feeling in the holiday spirit? Highlands Cashiers Players has the perfect remedy: their annual free holiday program.
It’s guaranteed to have you humming carols and feeling like the Whos down in Whoville who understood that Christmas doesn’t come from a store.
Highlands Cashiers Players is a community organization and firmly believes in giving back. This year will be the 20th anniversary of their free holiday program and 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, they bring to the stage readings and holiday music certain to boost everyone’s spirits, even the meanest Grinch. 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. The event is being produced by both the Highlands Performing Arts Center and HCP.
Last year’s addition of the singing group Mountain Voices was such a hit that the chorus will once again be joining the festivities for the free holiday program, because what are the holidays without singing? 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 by pianist Arthea Brimmer.
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 holiday sweater and bring the family. For more information, call (828) 526-8084 or visit HighlandsCashiersPlayers.org.
