Circle of Light: a multicultural holiday performance

Celebrate this holiday season with an astonishing multi-ethnic and multi-talented cast of performers in a family program celebrating many of our winter holidays. CIRCLE OF LIGHT will enlighten, entertain, and delight you and yours with stories, song, dance, and more. In a time of great tension and unrest, this is our offering toward healing. Featured are Christmas around the Americas (including Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, and regions of the United States); the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah; the African-American celebration of Kwanzaa; the Hindu celebration of Diwali; and the Islamic observance of Ramadan. All of these holidays, sacred and secular, are fascinating and profoundly moving human rituals. CIRCLE OF LIGHT links these traditions through themes of light, hope, faith, joy, love, family and giving, while honoring the differences each traditions offers. Languages heard throughout the performance include English, Spanish, Hebrew, Portuguese, Yiddish and more. Please join us for a memorable holiday event.
