LCCC’S STOCKER ARTS CENTER SWINGS WITH “A CHRSTMAS CABARET”
Kick off the holiday season at Lorain County Community College’s Stocker Arts Center with “A Christmas Cabaret” featuring 30 songs of the season and other festive curiosities. “A Christmas Cabaret” will be presented at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 14 and at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 15 in the intimate Stocker Studio Theatre.
The Christmas season has inspired hundreds of joyful pages from the Great American Songbook going all the way back to Irving Berlin’s 1916 “Santa Claus.” “A Christmas Cabaret” was conceived and is hosted by radio personality Bill Rudman, who along with pianist Nancy Maier and singers Jared Leal and Hannah Laird will take you on a sleigh ride of songs, including evergreens like “Winter Wonderland,” “White Christmas,” and “Silver Bells,” as well as Jerome Kern’s jazz version of “God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen,” a holiday song that George Gershwin composed at the age of 21, and lots more. Some recent holiday confections include Jerry Herman’s “The Best Christmas of All” (from the TV musical “Mrs. Santa Claus”) and the pop hit “Just in Time for Christmas.”
