MAKE MERRY WITH MUSIC!

Our A Christmas Carol Pre-Show Choir and Ensemble Program has been part of our holiday tradition for 15 years. Free to all A Christmas Carol ticket-holders, these choir performances occur just prior to curtain. Since 2005, audiences have enjoyed sounds of the season from over 200 choirs.

This year, LIVE pre-show performances are back!

Join the Partnership

Great Lakes Theater is seeking local choirs and ensembles to perform approximately 20-25 minutes of holiday selections before performances of A CHRISTMAS CAROL at the Mimi Ohio Theatre, Playhouse Square. Performances run between November 26 through December 23, 2022.

This community partnership lives in the nation’s second largest theater district. Choirs and ensembles of all backgrounds, ages, and experience levels are welcome to participate – from school ensembles, to church choirs, college and professional groups and beyond. No audition is required. Groups may perform a capella or with their own keyboard/pianist.

Each performance will take place at the Mimi Ohio Theatre, welcoming and entertaining up to 1,000 guests as they enter. All participating performers and the program director each receive a complimentary ticket to enjoy the performance of A CHRISTMAS CAROL after they perform. Plus, we extend a special 50% OFF ticket discount to friends, family and fans of each choir or ensemble. Groups who take advantage of the discount this year get priority when choosing performance dates next season.

The Great Lakes Theater Community Choir & Ensemble Performance web page lists all participating groups. We share this via email and social media to get the word out about your group’s talents to our holiday audience and spotlight your program in the community.
