Dinner Theater And "A Song For Christmas"
Did You Know? - The Tustin Theatre was built in 1959 and was the first and only movie theatre in Tustin for many years. It was owned by Saul Mahler until 1976. He had previously been involved in the movie theatre business in the Los Angeles area with many of the well known theatre owners of the 30s and 40s.
In 1978 a group of producers raised capital from local business owners to remodel the building and covert it into a dinner theatre. The construction took about a year. The newly opened Cabaret Theatre was presented innovative and captivating performances of all the loved musicals for all ages for the local audiences for several years. In 1980 the Curtain Call group assumed the reins of the theatre and ran it successfully for approximately 25 years.
A SONG FOR CHRISTMAS is a heart-warming yuletide musical about Anthony, a young boy who discovers he has a gift for playing the piano. He grows up and becomes a successful songwriter living his dream of fame and fortune —but at what cost? Anthony discovers his life is empty and longs for his family and true love, Julie, who he left behind years before. Can the music of the holiday season, specifically a “Christmas song” help him rediscover what is most important in life? The answer will be revealed in this feel-good, perfect for the entire family musical filled with original soulful ballads and rockin’ upbeat numbers that inspire holiday cheer.
The carolers were entertaining
Did You Know? - The word carol is derived from the Old French word carole, a circle dance accompanied by singers (in turn derived from the Latin choraula). Carols were very popular as dance songs from the 1150s to the 1350s, after which their use expanded as processional songs sung during festivals, while others were written to accompany religious mystery plays (such as the Coventry Carol, written before 1534).
