St. Peter's Episcopal Church

7PM Sunday December 11th at St. Peter’s Church

The holidays are just around the corner……and so is The Musical Theater Project’s

“A Christmas Cabaret.”  It has become a holiday tradition around northeast Ohio, and now it’s coming to Ashtabula.   “A Christmas Cabaret”, the final concert of the calendar year, will be presented at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Ashtabula as part of the church’s Great Music without Barriers fine arts series.   “A Christmas Cabaret” is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 11th in the sanctuary.  A pre-concert dessert / coffee will be held in Parish Hall at 6:00 p.m.  Both the dessert/coffee and the concert are free and open to the public.

The songs in this crowd-pleasing cabaret go as far back as 1916 and Irving Berlin’s syncopated “Santa Claus”: “You’d better be good like a good baby should, or he will fly right by to another neighborhood!” In addition to festive curiosities like that one, the show is filled with favorites for young and old including “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “Silver Bells,” “White Christmas,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and  even “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.”

This is the 6^th year of the presentation of “A Christmas Cabaret” in our corner of Ohio.  Last year, all the performances of “A Christmas Cabaret” were sold out – SRO!

The company features Aaron Dunn, Nancy Maier, Bill Rudman and Sandra Simon. Rudman and Maier have appeared previously at St. Peter’s in “September Songs,” a cabaret enjoyed by a full house of listeners. Those who attend “A Christmas Cabaret” at St. Peter’s are expected to bring their singing voices to join in with the artists.
