STORIES FOR A WINTER SOLSTICE, the popular Christmas show written and performed by Caitlin Hicks which toured B.C. and Washington state to excellent reviews, and whose stories were heard on CBC Radio numerous times, comes to Gibsons Public Art Gallery on December 20th at 7 PM as a magical winter holiday event Christmas in Cornucopia.
The evening will be an exclusive gathering with music, stories, lights and treats. Tickets include complimentary Christmas confections, coffee or tea. A door prize will be won at the event: a free audio book of the show with music by some of the best Sunshine Coast musicians.
Christmas in Cornucopia is a collection of original winter stories inspired by Coastal British Columbia, told in the first person by a variety of characters: an ice skater who remembers a moment when she chooses her creative life path; a young French Canadian mother and her newborn daughter who flee family violence on Christmas Eve; a child who is surprised by Santa Claus after her Mother warns her that he will never find them on remote Read Island, a Christmas Eve adventure on boat in the fog on the Strait of Georgia near Ripple Rock.
The signature story, Christmas in Cornucopia, tells of a magical town where every Christmas carol ever composed, was created.
The show was written and will be performed by Caitlin Hicks. Gordon Halloran will sing vocals with ukulele.
Extremely limited seating; advance tickets required. Tickets can be purchased at Gibsons Coffee & Tea at 459 Marine Drive. (604) 562-0024.
A short sample of the songs and stories of Christmas in Cornucopia will be showcased at St. Hilda’s Church Saturday, December 15th @ 2 PM as part of their annual church choir sing-along.
