Beyond the Books: The Forgotten Carols (With a Giveaway!)
7:32 PM

I'd never heard of The Forgotten Carols until 1994, when my college boyfriend (now husband) organized a trip to see the production in Provo, Utah. At the time, the show was only a few years old, and most of the parts were played by Michael McLean, the well-known musician who developed the presentation. The two of us, along with a group of our friends, had a great time watching The Forgotten Carols together. While I don't remember the details of the show now, I do recall enjoying the experience and feeling a sweet spirit of friendship and holiday cheer that added to the joy of the Christmas season for all of us that year. A couple decades later, the show is in its 28th year of consecutive performances. According to a press release, The Forgotten Carols has been "reimagined" this year. In it, McLean is quoted as saying, "Fans will hear the same songs, see the same characters, but experience the story in a completely new way!"

Needless to say, when I was offered complimentary tickets to an upcoming performance of The Forgotten Carols here in Arizona in exchange for posting this promotional piece, I jumped at the chance. I can't wait to re-experience the show and all the nostalgia that I'm sure will be part of it.

If you live in Utah, Idaho, or Arizona and are looking for a fun, family-friendly activity to touch your own heart, definitely consider attending a performance near you. Click here for show and ticketing information.
Would you prefer to attend the show for free? Of course you would! Enter to win four tickets to the performance by using the Rafflecopter widget below. Maybe I'll see you at the Tempe show on December 13 :)

We used to go to a lot of community events during the Christmas season: caroling, etc, but somehow we've drifted away from them. This year I'd like to start up again to remind myself that community is what matters (my daughter will be out of town over the holidays, which makes me sad)
ReplyDeleteThat really looks good...makes me wish I were in the "neighborhood."
ReplyDeleteOh this looks lovely and a wonderful take on the familiar Christmas story.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good and definitely something that I would enjoy. Living in Ontario, it is a bit too far for me to travel.
