MANCHESTER, NH — Jupiter Hall is thrilled to present a fantastic afternoon of performing arts with theatre KAPOW and musical guests on December 15 from 1 to 4 p.m. Treat yourself and your family to this wonderful experience. There is no ticket fee for this event but donations are welcome!
theatre KAPOW will perform two separate programs of three distinct stories at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
In “The Little Match Girl” by Hans Christian Anderson, a poor young girl has a burning desire to find comfort and happiness in her life. Desperate to keep warm on a very cold New Year’s Eve, the girl lights the matches she sells, and envisions a very different life for herself in the fiery flames.
“The Gift of the Magi” by O. Henry is a touching and beautiful story of a young couple unable to afford presents for each other on their first Christmas together. Each sacrifices a treasure to provide a gift for the other but, in so doing, they work at almost tragically funny cross-purposes.
Oscar Wilde’s beloved tale, “The Selfish Giant,” tells the story of the selfish giant who built a wall around his beautiful garden to keep children out. It was always winter in the garden, but a special child brings Spring back, and the giant’s heart melts along with the snow.
Michelle Koolian, flutist and cellist David L Duhon will perform a variety of holiday classics and welcome everyone to engage in caroling. Michelle Koolian began her musical career as a young child when first introduced to the flute during the fourth grade. She has been playing for 20 years and attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, where Michelle studied flute performance under Wendy Rolfe.
David L Duchon is a graduate of Stanford University with many years of orchestral, solo, and chamber music experience. David brings new ideas, styles and always finds something interesting to contribute, to facilitate the most enriching musical experiences to every audience.
