“Bringing Christmas Home” Auditions

A creative arts evening of song, dance and the stories of four homes all seeking something more on Christmas Eve. Come see where their stories merge as they….Bring Christmas Home.

Christmas Synopsis:
A Calvary Christmas creative arts journey through song, dance, visual arts media and drama as we take a glimpse into four homes this Christmas Eve. A senior couple dealing with the changes their failing health are bringing to their Christmas traditions of years past. A young 18 year old orphan girl, on her own and alone is having trouble making her dirty apartment feel like the Christmas home she’s always wanted. A big family, with all their personal dynamics and traditions in a time when money is tight but family is everything. And a soldier, finally home from Iraq and in the midst of a Christmas gathering he's longed for, but the joy is blocked by the memories of war. Their lives merge at a Christmas Eve church service where they find out how to bring Christ-mas home.
