Visions of Christmas - A Musical Celebration

The ghosts and goblins are gone for another year. All the clocks will be turned back an hour, and Thanksgiving dinner will soon be on the horizon. As fall moves toward the rear view mirror, Christmas season will soon be in full swing.

As part of the festive atmosphere here along the Gulf Coast, the city of Orange Beach will be presenting several special events to make sure everyone has joyous holiday memories this year.

In November, the Expect Excellence Music Department will be presenting “Visions of Christmas”. The variety show performances will be held November 17-19 at the Orange Beach Performing Arts Center, located at 23908 Canal Road. The P.A.C is located on the eastern portion of the Orange Beach High School campus.

There will be a full complement of holiday music with many Christmas standards, and several special surprises that will put everyone in the Christmas spirit. There will also be appearances from a few special holiday characters from “Christmas Town” mixed into the performance, according to Caleb Pittman, E.E. music director.

“Visions of Christmas” is a high energy variety show that has something for everyone. This year's production has 30 vocalists and musicians and “a lot of new faces” in the show.

Admission to “Visions of Christmas” is free, but reservations are required, due to space and availability considerations. The performances on Nov. 17-18 will be at 7 p.m., and there will be a matinee performance on Saturday, Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. 

Tickets are available online at orangebeachal.gov/events/performing-arts. The box office is open from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays at the back entrance of the P.A.C. Anyone with questions, can call the box office at (251) 923-0043 or email jjlangston@orangebeachal.gov.
