Hamilton-Gibson Women’s Project Holiday Cabaret, “All is Shiny & Bright”
December 12 at 7:30 pm
An original cabaret-style show, “All is Shiny & Brite”, presented by the Hamilton-Gibson Women’s Project will be performed December 12 – 14 in the Warehouse Theatre’s Gallery space in Wellsboro.
The show features Karin Knaus of Westfield as the lead character Betty Bristol, a widow who is spending Christmas Eve in the year 1940 doing her evening radio show shift, taking callers and choosing holiday favorites to play for them. The story is set on a snowy evening in Wellsboro, and features local lore, period radio commercials performed live, and many talented local singers.
The script was created by local writer Lilace Guignard in collaboration with the show’s director, Jessie Thompson, and musical director Anne Acker. Gary Citro fills the gallery space with piano accompaniment throughout the show. Seating is cabaret-style with tables and chairs, beverages and snacks will be available for purchase, and advance tickets are recommended. Saturday evening’s performance will be a special memorial tribute to long-time HG member Karen Usavage, and those who knew her are encouraged to attend.
This production is sponsored by Citizens & Northern Bank, and performances are December 12, 13 & 14 at 7:30pm at 3 Central Ave. in Wellsboro. Tickets are $16 for adults and $8 for under 18, and are available at www.Booktix.com or by calling 570-724-2079
