The Performing Arts Series is thrilled to announce the addition of a BONUS CONCERT in the 2023-24 PAS series on May 17 — singer-songwriter Carrie Newcomer will make her return to the Sauder Concert Hall stage for a special performance along with The Gathering of Spirits String Quartet. Newcomer is a 1980 Goshen College alum and was the featured speaker at Goshen College’s 118th Commencement ceremony in 2016.
Goshen College will present the 20th annual musical celebration of Christmas, “A Festival of Carols,” a special celebration that features four choirs and an orchestra, along with audience participation on traditional carols, all in a concert hall festively decorated with garlands, lights and trees. “A Festival of Carols” is patterned on a traditional English worship service, and features Christmas carols, spirituals, scripture readings and sacred works of music for the holiday season. Performers include the Goshen College Chamber Choir, Vox Profundi, Voices of the Earth, Goshen College Symphony Orchestra and Shout For Joy Children’s Choir. The audience will also be invited to join the choirs to sing familiar carols during the performance. Tickets are now available for any of the three performances on Dec. 1, 2 or 3.
In this fall’s mainstage play, “Twelfth Night: Or What You Will,” the Goshen College Theater Department draws inspiration from post-punk youth culture in London, circa 1980, giving a new setting to the classic Shakespeare gender-bending romantic comedy. It will be performed on Friday, Nov. 10; Saturday, Nov. 11 and Saturday, Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 12 and 19 at 2:30 p.m. in Umble Center.
This collaboration between the Theater and Spanish Departments features Entremeses, short farces from the Spanish Golden Age by renowned writers like Cervantes and deVega. Staged readings will explore possibilities of making bilingual theater on our campus and the capacity of excellent storytelling to transcend language. Audience appropriateness: all ages welcome, probably most enjoyable for ages 11 and up.
