 | A Christmas Carol - Opening Night
7:00 PM
If you think A Christmas Carol is an old chestnut…if you think audiences can’t be thrilled anew by the greatest of all ghost stories…think again. In this adaptation by The Foothill Theatre Company and Philip C. Sneed, the story’s the thing that makes Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit and the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future come alive. It’s a tale of how isolation and self-interest withers the soul—a trajectory that can be reversed and redeemed only by embracing and contributing to the greater good.

 | Holiday Festival: Opening Night ($)
7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
It’s hard to pick just one reason that the CU-Boulder Holiday Festival sells out every year. Some longtime concertgoers mention the lively program of favorite seasonal music while others love the festive holiday decorations in Macky Auditorium. The College of Music’s choirs, orchestra, ensembles, and faculty soloists invite you to share this joyous celebration with family and friends. Opening night is Friday, December 4 with performances also on Saturday and Sunday, December 5 & 6. www.cupresents.org |

 | Leahy Family Christmas
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Celebrate the holidays in Celtic style with the Leahy Family!
Leahy is the Canadian powerhouse of eight musical brothers and sisters who are a whirlwind triple-threat of fiddle-driven music, dance, and vocals augmented by keyboards and percussion. Their music combines the influence of their Irish and Scottish roots with their inherent desire to widely travel the musical map.
A Leahy Family Christmas includes Christmas classics and new Leahy material, as well as Christmas stories that make you feel as though you are one of the characters yourself. From sacred hymns and slow airs to a smorgasbord of fiery tunes and carols, A Leahy Family Christmas covers the full spectrum of Christmas music.
“Leahy makes Christmas a true family affair!” - The Calgary Herald
