By Cailyn Kennedy
For two evenings and four matinees in December, Lenoir Community College will be sparking holiday joy for its community with the upcoming production of Irving Berlin's White Christmas The Musical.
The show, directed by LCC's Fine Arts Program Chair/Music Instructor Jessica Cruz, will take place at 7 p.m. Dec. 1 and Dec. 8 and at 2 p.m. Dec. 2, 3, 9, and 10 in the LCC Briley Auditorium on the Turner Stage. This show is one of many that will be a part of the performing arts series at LCC. The title sponsor of Irving Berlin's White Christmas The Musical is Neuse News.
Tickets are available now at www.lenoircc.edu/whitechristmas. Ticket prices are as follows, accessible seating: $15, orchestra seating: $20, standard seating: $15, and student standard seating (ages 4-17; 18+ student ID required): $10.
Along with this outstanding performance, the College will host a Stocking Stuffer Maker's Market, where vendors will sell their products before show time beginning at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 1 and 8 and at 12:30 p.m. on Dec. 2, 3, 9, and 10.
This timeless show is a heartwarming story of love, friendship, and the spirit of giving. This production will take its audience to a snow-covered Vermont inn, where two veterans team up with a duo of singing sisters to save their former commanding officer's struggling business. The result is a delightfully nostalgic show full of romance, laughter, and music.
Travis Johnson will be playing the role of Ezekiel Foster. Johnson is from La Grange, and is currently a LCC student pursuing an Associate in Arts degree. He was previously in two shows at North Lenoir High School, Into the Woods and The Pajama Game and is also a huge motorsports fan.
Christian Moore will be tackling the role of Mike. He is a current student at LCC with dreams of being a film and television actor. When he isn't practicing for a show, Moore constantly quotes reality TV and loves a good bottle of ranch dressing.
Izzy Huston will be portraying Scooter in this upcoming production. She is a 15-year-old South Lenoir High School sophomore who loves music, art, and animals. Her favorite subject is science, and she wants to be a Forensic Entomologist when she grows up.
Ensemble member Tanner Wilson is excited to be back on stage yet again in another Jessica Cruz production. His previous roles include Boy Scrooge in Ebenezer, Ensemble in A Christmas Carol, and Rudolpho in Matilda.
Elliot Jones will be a member of the ensemble in this show. Jones was born and raised in Kinston, and has participated in plays at Lenoir Community College in the past. He loves spending time with his daughter and is looking forward to doing this play with his daughter.
