BIG RIVER & CHRISTMAS CHEER in CONNECTICUT! Thursday, November 20 Our winter trip to Goodspeed has been scheduled earlier than usual this year, and we hope you’ll join us when we attend the matinee performance of Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Come along for the adventure of a lifetime as we join Huck and runaway slave Jim on a musical trip down the Mississippi River based on Mark Twain’s classic tale. Along the way, you’ll meet a rascally pair of river grifters, a grieving heiress and of course, Tom Sawyer. This is a slice of pure Americana - adventurous, humorous, perilous and mythic. This show, with music and lyrics by Roger Miller, won 7 Tony Awards including Best Musical, when it appeared on Broadway. We’re also happy to announce the return of our pre-show visit to Guilford! We’ll begin our day with the perfect holiday shopping trip to the Guilford Handcraft Center’s 27th annual sale. Featuring the work of over 350 artists, this indoor show of contemporary American crafts will include ceramics, glass, fiber arts, jewelry, basketry, metalwork and more... just the thing for early holiday shopping! On the basis of considerable praise for the Riverhouse, a lovely banquet facility across the river from the Opera House, we are returning there for luncheon, which will precede the performance. Mark your calendar for this pre-holiday outing and reserve your seat NOW to avoid disappointment later on! FEE: $105. Includes theatre ticket for matinee performance with orchestra seating, 3-course lunch with choice of entrée at the Riverhouse, BCS escort, motorcoach transportation and driver tip. A $50 deposit will hold space on the trip until October 5, when the balance is due.

Take a bite of one of our 2 Big Apple Christmas treats on December 6 to experience the magic of Christmas in New York.

Our Christmas Apple includes excellent orchestra seating at peak time to a 4:30PM performance of the world-famous Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular—-America’s favorite holiday tradition.

The show is re-imagined with exciting twists on cherished traditions plus brand-new show-stopping scenes. Santa will fly high above the stage through a winter blizzard and unveil his mesmerizing 25-foot tall warehouse of toys, right before your eyes! And at the heart of it all is the meaningful and poignant story about the magic and warmth of Christmas, concluding with the inspirational live nativity. Before the show, there will be ample time to shop, view the creatively decorated windows along Fifth Avenue, watch the skaters at the fabulous Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, or visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral or a museum.

When Dr. Manette is released from the French Bastille after 17 years, he must be resurrected from the brink of madness by his daughter, Lucie. In England they meet two very different men: the exiled French aristocrat, Charles Darnay, whom Lucie marries, and the drunken cynic, Sydney Carton.
