Guse Productions, in association with Knox Waterloo, presents The Sounds of Christmas in support of KidsAbility.
This multi-performer musical variety show will feature many different styles of Christmas music, from traditional favourites to country to gospel. There will also be harmony singing, toe-tapping instrumentals and various styles of dance.
The eight-show run from Dec. 6 to 14 will feature seven professional adult performers, a professional four- piece band, award winning step dancing and fiddling, a teen chorus and a young people’s chorus, young dancers from the acclaimed Moree School of Dance and involvement from several local schools as well throughout the eight-show run.
Director, musical director and performer Nicole Guse, has had the concept for the show for six years.
Proceeds from The Sounds of Christmas, which will be performed at Knox Waterloo, will help KidsAbility, a children’s charity close to the heart of Guse, whose son attended the centre between the ages of one and five.
“It has always been my dream to be able to give back to KidsAbility on a grander scale and this show enables me to do that by giving my time and talent to create something for the community that gives on many levels and helps to raise awareness of how important KidsAbility is to the young children of our community,” said Guse.
“A Christmas show fits the bill perfectly since Christmas is a time for giving, caring, sharing and children.”
She added, “Music is the universal language that can touch the hearts of people young and old alike and this show can bring us all together to enjoy the season and also give back to our community at the same time.
“Investing in our future generations is so important.”
In addition to Guse, shows will feature the following adult performers: Michelle Black-Tracz; Cora Black; Jim, Shane and Stacey Lee Guse; and Greg and Tracy Weber. For more information visit www.guseproductions.com.
