CYT Presents TRADITIONS OF CHRISTMAS
Christian Community Theatre (CCT) is known for its CYT programming for children but also provides musical theater entertainment the entire family can enjoy. The 23rd annual production of “Traditions of Christmas,” a musical spectacular, is patterned after Radio City Music Hall’s annual event. It is a musical journey through all the greatest Christmas songs and celebrations from around the world. Santa’s workshop comes alive with dancing elves, Raggedy Ann dolls and magical toys. The Rockette-style tap dancing kickline will have you cheering in the aisles. Audiences will experience the perfect collection of the sights and sounds of the holiday season and even get to sing along to holiday favorites like “White Christmas” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” A touching highlight of each year’s show is the dazzling tribute to the United States military in San Diego County. Every branch of the service gets a chance to stand and represent as their specific service songs are played and honored from the stage. The celebration culminates with CCT’s most treasured tradition of all–a living nativity, complete with live animals. Traditions of Christmas has grown to be the biggest Christmas show in San Diego, drawing over 250,000 patrons since it began. It is generously sponsored by Blanchard, Krasner & French this year. Nine performances will take place at Lincoln Performing Arts Center between December 16 and 23. Tickets and information are at cytsandiego.org. Call the CCT box office at (619) 588-0206 for military discounts.
