Saturday, Dec. 23 at 5 p.m.—ROCHESTER—For this year’s annual winter production, “The Night Before the Night Before Christmas,” The White River Valley Players invite you to the Rochester School Auditorium on 222 S Main St, Rochester. Show time is 5-6:30 p.m. preceded by cider and homemade cookies starting at 4:15.
The theme for this year’s show is “Tales From the Forest: A Community of Trees Tells Its Stories.” Original stories are woven into a journey through the forest, with music from the woods and beyond performed by friends and neighbors from the Valley and a bit further. This will include singers in grades 4-6 from the Rochester and Stockbridge Schools, as well as The Three Sues, Greg Ryan, Heather Masterton Lemmons, Fred Lemmons, Christine Meagher, and others.
The stories and songs take place in the familiar woods of the White River Valley, where certain trees are given personalities as well as the ability to tell their own stories. A bit magical, a bit informational, and delightfully entertaining, Tales From the Forest will be a family favorite in this holiday season. We invite you to come for a relaxing evening, complete with refreshments and seasonal singing for all. This is a free community event, with donations to benefit the Rochester Federated Church Food Shelf, serving the needs of valley residents.
