A Motown Holiday

Twas the night of the Holiday Show and all through Heathcote
All the actors were stirring to a musical note
The decorations were hung on the stage with care
Friends, family and staff, everyone was there!

The audience was nestled all snug in their chairs
While visions of Motown danced in their stares


Mothers and Fathers lost their heavy winter clothes
When just a moment ago they were near froze

When out on the stage came a most angelic choir
All sprang to attention to see what was to conspire
The first number, ‘Santa Clause is comin to Town’
It tore the house down!

Onlookers let loose a joyous cry
As we listened to ‘Angels we have heard on high’
Coleen and Claire dazzled all, each spinning a hoop
This truly was a magnificent troupe

The first act ended as it had began
Energy high, all was going to plan
Before intermission, ‘ Chunnakah’s da bomb’
Lindsays dance solo was an absolute phenom

Back in our seats we were transported to a winter wonderland
With an onstage performance that was truly grand
Christian and Briana had a magical duet
So moving, so dear, take a look around, many eyes were wet

And then in a twinkling I heard in the aisle
A young elf named Alec with a most joyous smile
He came bearing gifts of candy canes and laughter
The show was in motion so we all thanked him after

At the conclusion we were welcomed to carols
With enough good cheer to fill several large barrels
It was an evening not soon to be forgot
To be looked back upon with much warm thought

We hope you spend your holiday in good cheer
South East Consortium looks forward to seeing you in the New Year
With the end of the season within sight

Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night!

Day on Broadway – White Christmas


It was a cold winter day, the perfect weather for our Day on Broadway group to see “White Christmas” at the Westchester Broadway Theatre. Shortly after being shown our seats and ordering from the menu, food started to come out, everyone enjoyed their dinners as they waited for the show to begin. This was a great time to converse with friends and enjoy the sights and sounds of the theatre.

Those who attended really enjoyed seeing the wonderful dance numbers as well as singing along to many beloved songs from the timeless “White Christmas” film.  The show ended with a big surprise! While the cast of the show sang “White Christmas”, snow started to fall from the ceiling. Everyone laughed and cheered as the snow fell all around us. A perfect end to a great day!
