Winter Whimsical 2019–Take 2!

TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE for the rescheduled show on Saturday, January 19, 2019.

The weather was not our friend this year, so we had to reschedule the show to Saturday, January 19. If the dress rehearsal last Friday night was any indication of how great this will be, you will want to attend this year’s show. These performers are wonderful. Food, drink, and so much fun! The show will be held at the St. Philomena Parish Center. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the show starts at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased online by clicking here, or you can purchase them at the St. Philomena parish office Monday-Friday, between 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. All proceeds go to support the arts at St. Philomena School.
