This holiday season we have a wide range of events for the whole family to enjoy. Included are live theatre events, free films, a “drop and shop” event for you and your children, and a performance by our performing arts camp students. Celebrate the holidays with us.
Live From Lynchburg Town
Thursday December 10th, 7pm
Be part of the inaugural WLNI Show ‘Live From Lynchburg Town,’ benefiting the Academy! Enjoy live music, storytelling and Christmas favorites. It’s a show your entire family will enjoy, recorded in front of a live audience at the Academy, and broadcast on WLNI 105.9 FM.
Theatre IV’s A Christmas Carol
Sunday, December 13th, 3pm
Perhaps the best loved holiday story of all time, Theatre IV’s adaptation of Dickens’ classic is particularly suited to children, and features a magnificent score by Julie Styne, the composer of Broadway’s immortal Peter Pan, Gypsy and Funny Girl. All the joy, sentiment and meaning are here, without being too scary for young audiences.
Sponsors: Moore & Giles, Jamerson Lewis Construction, and the Ruth S. and Louis B. Basten, II Fund.
