It is not too late to sign up for The Bus Trip to the Guthrie Theater to see The Christmas Carol
Thursday, December 29th

Join others from the community on a bus trip to the Guthrie Theater to A Christmas Carol. For more than 35 years audiences have treasured the Guthrie’s A Christmas Carol, making it a tradition not to be missed. Last season the Guthrie debuted a fresh take on Dickens’ ghost story, featuring a new adaptation by British playwright Crispin Whittell, a dazzling set and costumes, beautiful music, and fantastical aerial effects. The Star Tribune raved “I welcome the new energy and sharpness that Dowling, Whittell and the fine cast have brought to this Carol. They have vividly remade a classic.” Don’t miss your chance to share this holiday favorite with your whole family, an experience they will remember for years to come.

The Cambridge Center for The Arts is excited to have so many attending the bus trip to the Guthrie Theater to see Gilbert and Sullivan’s first blockbuster, H.M.S Pinafore on Wednesday, August 10th. This play is among the most crowd-pleasing comic musicals in history, loved for its dynamite songs, gleefully entertaining story and saucy satire. It is filled with Sullivan’s memorable melodies – infused with fresh musical arrangements ranging from big band swing to classic pop.
