Canyon Theatre Guild Embraces Another Holiday Season With An All-Time Favorite: White Christmas

For the past 35 years, Canyon Theatre Guild has delighted the community with their annual Holiday show. Families all over the SCV come to enjoy the season and attend classic hits like Miracle on 34th Street and Elf: The Musical. Not only are these timeless tales a perfect way to get into the Holiday spirit, but audience members are immersed in the cozy essence that only happens once a year: CTG transforms their classic playhouse into a winter wonderland. Everything from the wreaths and garlands adorning the walls to the warm scent of apple cider helps create the welcoming environment for the season. Carolers serenade the crowd before excited patrons of all ages bustle in for the evening’s entertainment.
This year, Canyon Theatre Guild creates its magic again by producing the hit musical, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas – based on the movie of the same name, which starred Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and more! Artistic and Executive Director TimBen Boydston pairs with Co-Director to Michael Smith to lead the cast through the musical journey, where two World War II vets who have become partners in a song-and-dance act after the war. Looking for love, they follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters to a gig at a Vermont lodge, which happens to be owned by their former army commander. Boydston says, “It has become a holiday tradition for many families and friends to celebrate the season by attending the annual CTG Holiday show.” The cast dazzles in iconic numbers, including “Snow,” “Sisters,” “Blue Skies,” and of course the titular “White Christmas.”
Jordan Cambron and Kendre Scott take on the principal characters of Bob Wallace and Phil Davis, respectively. Both actors are gracing the stage for the first time since the pandemic. Cambron remarks, “White Christmas is such a classic and I have many memories of watching this movie over the years with family and friends … Thank you Canyon Theatre Guild for giving me an opportunity to participate in a musical for the first time in over 3 years!” Choreographer Cristian Guerrero adds, “It has been an incredible experience for the cast and crew to spend the holiday season in the theatre we have come to call home.”
