four students (left to right) Austin Porter, Mathew Pitman, Emily Wright, Lizzy Jensen, preform in one of the starting acts of the winter musical titled White Christmas.

 

With great songs, gentle humor, and a little Vermont syrup, White Christmas offered enough  holiday cheer to last until next year. Including dances from Movéo and advanced dance, music from band, orchestra and choir, lights and sets from technical theatre, and wonderful performances from the actors themselves, White Christmas opened Nov. 30 and came to a close Dec. 9.

The night began with song and dance from soldiers on Christmas Eve 1944, and fast forwarded through time to create a memorable love story.

The band and orchestra members were on stage at all times during the performance, setting the tone for the whole night as they played with harmonious tones and dramatic effects.

Movéo and the advanced dance team took stage and added more life to the many song numbers, from their heads to their toes.

The actors embodied their characters and told an old-fashioned love story between friends, family, and promiscuous relationships.

With the production of White Christmas coming to a wrap, the cast and crew stood onstage after a hard night of work to be showered in applause and gratitude.
