Immediately following, choir members from across the capitol city will present favorites of the season, accompanied by organ and piano. Refreshments of Christmas cookies and warm cider will be served, and audience members will have the opportunity to meet and greet the cast afterwards. 7:30–9:30 pm. $23; $11 for children; $29 for VIP at bontempstix.com.
