Music at Asbury Reschedules "God Bless Us, Everyone"
Due to circumstances beyond its control, Music at Asbury has rescheduled the performance of its popular free holiday program, "God Bless Us, Everyone." The show is a dramatic reading of Dickens’ classic holiday story, A Christmas Carol, complemented with songs by Alan Menken and Lynn Ahrens, Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard, and a selection of familiar Christmas carols for the audience to sing along.
“God Bless Us, Everyone” is a tale whose message of compassion and reflection doesn’t end on December 25.
In the quiet space between Christmas Day and New Year’s, we hope you will find time to join us for an afternoon of storytelling and reflection, reminding us that grace and renewal are always within reach, today and every day.
Directed and conceived by Mauro Contrastano, with Mary Thombs as music director, "God Bless Us, Everyone” stars Mauro Contrastano, Laura Leopard, Martin McGeachy, and J.T. O’Connor. Caitlin Dowling will serve as the organist, with soloists Joseph Diaz, tenor; Mary Thombs, soprano; Nick Stephens, trumpet; Ruth Chiamulera, Jeannine Padula Goche, and Steve Taylor; the Asbury UMC Choir; members of Asbury Summer Theatre; and young people from the Riverarts voice studio of Mary Thombs.
Reservations are strongly suggested. Reservations can be made online at http://www.musicatasbury.com or by calling the church office 914-779-3722 and leaving a message with name, phone number, email address, and number in your party.
This is a 80-minute program with no intermission. Ample parking available.
Music at Asbury was launched in November of 2014 by Lu Gmoser, founding producer of Asbury Summer Theatre, and Dr. Earl F. Groner. As a program of Asbury-Crestwood United Methodist Church, Music at Asbury is designed to serve as a social service to the community, offering free performances by some of New York City and the Hudson Valley’s finest musical artists.
Program is made possible in part by a 2025 Art$Westchester Challenge Grant.
