“Welcome Yule! – A Midwinter Celebration” returns to the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse on Saturday, December 19 at 7:30 PM.
This event is part of the 2015-2016 Concert and Lecture Series to benefit the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation’s Preservation Fund.
“Welcome Yule!” is a delightful family show filled with music, dance, songs and stories for the longest night. It features carols, wassailing songs, dancing, a mummers’ play and a Yule log procession performed by the Welcome Yule Chorus, Children’s Troupe and Folk Orchestra.
Welcome Yule! was first produced in 1985 in Greenfield, Massachusetts by founder/artistic director Rose Sheehan. It has continued as an annual Franklin County holiday show ever since.
Sheehan, a Gloucester resident of 11 years and director of Folk Life Studio, produced a Gloucester-based “Welcome Yule!” in 2014 and is thrilled to bring the production back again in 2015.
Ticket prices are $15 for adults; $10 for seniors and children five through sixteen; $35 family cap; age four and under free. Tickets are available at the door or in advance by clicking here
Do you love our programs at the Meetinghouse? Would you like to support our summer concert series in support of worthy local non-profits as a Sponsor? Last year we raised over $18K in free will donations while featuring great local musical groups and offering delicious food from local vendors. We call it doing good while having fun! All the proceeds go to our partner non-profits, so we rely entirely upon Sponsors like you to pay the expenses. Being a Sponsor is a great way to support your community and to have your name or business listed on all of our posters, season cards, and online publicity.
