28th Annual MESSIAH Sing-In
Free Community Concert at Shawnee Playhouse

The Shawnee Playhouse presents THE MESSIAH Sing In Community Concert on Friday December 22 at 8:00 pm.

For 28 years, the Messiah has been a joyous Shawnee tradition, a unique presentation in which the audience joins in the singing. Concert Master Numa Snyder and Conductor Jerrold Fisher lead sixteen talented vocalists and a live orchestral ensemble in one of history's most famous musical works.

Sing along with your friends and neighbors as we raise our voices in Handel's immortal masterpiece. Each audience member receives a musical score and is invited to join in singing the choral parts.

With a roaring fire in the fireplace and the fellowship of the local community, this is an event that contributes in a very special way to the joy of the season.

Admission is FREE. No tickets are required, but a $6.00 donation is requested at the door for the orchestra and to keep our scores in good condition. Seating is on a first come, first served basis.

The Shawnee Playhouse Christmas celebration continues with special shows throughout the holiday season, including:
