Goatsinger Show: “Gathered” – From Spring 2014

Saturday, December 13th, at 7:30 pm, the First Street Community Center’s Uptown Theatre is proud to host:

“The Goatsinger Show: Winter Nativity Scene“.

This month is a quiet affair of shared music, a few stories, and a quick, goofy sketch – but primarily, it’s an opportunity for folks to come and sing their favorite Christmas songs together.

Performers are:

  • Kim Benesh
  • Karla Steffens-Moran
  • Luke Moran
  • Mike Moran
  • Anton Rood
  • Braden Rood
  • Daniel Kelchen
  • Josh Woosley

No charge, although we’ll – as always – pass the hat at some point.
