Presented for the past 21 years in Rochester, “Forever Christmas” is a chance for audiences to celebrate the charitable and timeless traditions of Christmas.

It is a fantastic mix of holiday music and comedy featuring six local, talented actors including Katie Hawley, Debra Olson, Lenore Marcotte, Brian Gorman, Scot Schwark, and Tom Theisen.

The show has been seen by thousands of audience members from across the region. Past audience members have described the show as high energy, and that there was never a moment they weren’t smiling.
