Christmas Concerts at The Barnhill Center
The spirit of Christmas is captured in music at the historic Simon Theatre at The Barnhill Center. Catch the Texas Tenors on Friday, December 2, and the Grand Ol’ Christmas Show on Saturday, December 17. Purchase tickets online.
Unity Theatre “Coney Island Christmas”
Weaving together nostalgia, music, and merriment, this is a holiday show for people of all ages and faiths. An older Shirley Abramowitz tells her great-granddaughter the story of when she was cast in the role of Jesus in her school’s Christmas pageant. As a young Jewish girl, her immigrant parents are horrified and will not allow her to participate. This is a charming story of what it means to be an American during the holidays.
