Chance Theater is bringing the full measure of holiday spirit this season with funk-rock trio GrooveLily’s holiday concert-musical Striking 12.
The two stories parallel and eventually converge, all while striking a similar chord to the current era of self-isolation our world is collectively experiencing today. The musical also explores themes of hoping and dreaming for the future and of rediscovering one’s forgotten holiday spirit
“It’s about dreaming,” director Kari Hayter says. “It’s about having visions and looking into your future and seeing the good out of the cards that you’re dealt.”
“It’s a real universal story,” Hayter explains. “It’s really just about a new life, a new year, a new future.”
Hayter hopes audiences will take away from this show “pure entertainment” and total fun. She hopes the story will lead many to consider their own dreams and visions for both the new year and for our world in the times ahead.
Chance Theater is eager to help ease the community back together once again for the holiday season. “I think after the last 20 months we’ve had as a global community, the journey back to believing in humanity again speaks to us.”
