Schedule of Events

The Carol of the Bells

1:00pm - The Terris Theatre

Book, Music, & Lyrics by Nevada Lozano

Christmas is the favorite holiday of the Bell family, most particularly the youngest daughter, Silver. After learning it may be the last Christmas with her grandmother, Silver sets about to reunite the entire family for one final Christmas – despite her parent’s recent divorce, the estrangement of her delinquent brother, boy-obsessed sister…and her dad’s new girlfriend crashing the festivities. Direct from its hit cabaret performance at last year’s Festival, The Carol of the Bells is an irreverent, heartwarming, yuletide musical comedy that will have your heart growing three sizes.
