Community Theatre comes alive with Holiday Festival….
Posted December 6, 2011 at 7:02 am by Ian Byington
It was great to see so many people turn out for last weekend’s Holiday Festival at the Community Theatre. The theatre’s biggest fundrasier of the year went very well – raising the money that needed to be raised, and getting people on the same page in support of that.
But there was more than that. There was the high school-prom-like feeling of everyone dressing up and coming to the place to see each other….
And there was more than that. There was the entertainment & environment, with the amazing John Curley auctioneering (along with his delightful daughter Charlie) & talking faster than a human has a right to. Great music, great food.
And there was more than that. There was the feeling of us all coming together and enjoying being together, and of the Community Theatre creating a community of folks for a night that enjoyed each other, and being together, while celebrating the chance to do that, all year long.
When we’re together, it works. There doesn’t need to be more than that.
Here’s a little slideshow of folks all dressed up with somewhere to go, with video to give you a flavor (and memory) of the night. By the way, if you haven’t seen Sharon’s pictures on the San Juan Islander from the night, check ’em out – she did an awesome job.
