‘An Old-Fashioned Christmas’

ONLINE — The American Readers Theatre, in collaboration with The Presby Players Community Theater, will present its first-ever online Christmas show, a ticketed event, Friday, December 18 through Sunday, December 20. 

The production is different from any other year. Musical director Sandy Stalter will be one of the singers in the cast of 15 in addition to providing the piano accompaniment. She explained, “We recorded all of the songs individually; each singer had an hour-long time slot to do their performance. I accompanied each singer on the piano, except for the two songs that I sing, for which I pre-recorded the piano accompaniment,” Statler explained. She added that most of the songs will be classic Christmas songs that should be familiar to the audience.

The show, “An Old-Fashioned Christmas,” was videotaped in Port Jervis at Marsh Hall, the home of The Presby Players Community Theater. Artistic Director Jeffrey Stocker said, “It was like filming a movie… Sandy and I feel like we entered a new way to present our very talented performers.”

The online event will be shown at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, December 18 and 19 and at 3 p.m. on Sunday, December 20.  Tickets cost $20 and are good for the entire household.
