Would you and your group like to entertain guests in our beautiful lobby prior to attending one of our 2013 Christmas Show performances? We’re extending an opportunity to church choirs, school choral groups, neighborhood singers, barbershop quartets, and all other singing groups to perform Christmas carols prior to a show in November and December. Groups of any age with four or more singers are welcome to participate in this opportunity.
To take part, groups should have well rehearsed carols lasting a total performance time of 20-30 minutes. Space will be provided in the lobby, and your group will have the opportunity to carola cappella as guests are arriving for the show.
In addition, special pricing packages are available for your group, as well as friends and family, as our thank you for caroling.
If you are interested in performing in our lobby prior to a 2013 Christmas Show, and to find out more about our special caroling pricing package, please contact Meghan Young, Group Sales Coordinator, at myoung@amtshows.com or 800-648-4102 x 6200.
Are you looking for a different way to host a holiday get-together this year, and want to offer your employees, club members, church group, family, or friends a unique and unforgettable Christmas party?
Then how about a catered party and tickets to The 2013 Christmas Show: The First Noel? The Theatre’s festively decorated lobby provides a beautiful setting for a catered eent before or after the show. Choose a morning, afternoon, or evening performance, and treat your staff or group to breakfast or brunch, light or heavy hors d’oeuvres, wine and cheese, dessert and coffee, or whatever you and your caterer choose to serve.
Hosting a holiday party at AMT is a terrific idea, but perhaps it’s not quite the option for your employees or group. If not, you may want to consider giving them tickets for a specific show date — we can offer you discounted pricing to treat your staff. Or, giving show vouchers as gifts may be just the solution to your gift giving this year.
