Messiah: A Community Sing
2024-12-15 14:30 | St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Pearl Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
MESSIAH: A Community Sing Once again, HG provides a glorious afternoon of music as soloists and audience members join to sing the Christmas portion of G.F. Handel’s triumphant Oratorio. Dr. Peggy Dettwiler conducts the event this year with soloists from the Mansfield University music department. Three of this year’s soloists are recent graduates, and one is currently a junior. The string quartet is from State College, and local musician Marian Miller is returning to the keyboard. Audience members are invited to sing the choruses. Scores are available upon entrance, or you may bring your own. Of course, you may also sit back and listen to your friends and neighbors present this incredible work. The event began and continues as a fundraiser for the HG Children’s Choral Program. Fittingly, when the MESSIAH was first presented in London 1743 it too was as a fundraiser for the newly opened Foundling Hospital, a home for unwanted children.) The HG Treble Choir will present two selections before we commence MESSIAH. Please consider contributing to these young musicians. The event is once again offered due to the generous sponsorship by Marsha and Bob Chesko.

A Christmas Carol
2024-12-08 14:30 - 15:30
Focusing on Dickens’ powerful language, humor and warmth, this charming version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL simply and directly tells the story of the redemption of a human soul. The play follows the ever-powerful story of Scrooge, a lonely miser, who, through the help of spirits and visions from his past, present and future, finds a second chance to become a loving, generous human being. Adapted for a company of six actors, accompanied by a fiddler, the play requires a minimum of sets, costumes and props. It begins with a child reading the story for the first time. As the scenes are played out behind him, the child becomes totally caught up in the story and is finally invited by the other characters to enter the play as one of them. With traditional carols and English folk tunes creating the proper atmosphere, the world of Scrooge, Fezziwig and Tiny Tim comes alive, igniting the holiday spirit for young and old alike.
This adaptation is just 1 hour in duration.
Performances at 10:30AM, 1:30PM and 3:30PM are in the Coolidge Theatre.
Performances at 11AM, 1PM, 4 PM as well as Sunday at 2:30 are at the Warehouse Theatre.
All seats on Saturday are $25 (large group pricing available) and the Sunday performance is Pay What You Wish.
