Our 2025 Season Programs
Here’s what we have been up to:
“All Hallows’ Gala”
The All Hallows’ Gala was a vibrant celebration held in the Roof Garden, where the spirit of Halloween came alive through the night. The atmosphere was electric with twinkling lights and seasonal decorations setting the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable evening. The dancing was at the heart of the gala, with a lively band performance of classic halloween tunes. The dance floor became the hub of energy, where every one, from ghouls to witches, showcased their best moves.
“Clay Central Everly Camp”
The CCE camp was an exciting and creative experience where we had the opportunity to teach kids the art of performance, focusing on singing. Throughout the camp, we engaged the children in various vocal exercises and fun activities that helped build confidence and improve their singing skills. In addition to singing, the kids also had a fantastic time creating their costumes. With guidance, they used their imagination and creativity to design outfits that reflected their personalities and the themes of their performances
“Home For the Holidays”
The Home for the Holidays event was a heartwarming celebration filled with festive cheer, highlighted by a live performance featuring four talented singers. Each singer brought their unique style and energy to the stage, captivating the audience with a mix of classic songs.
We hope to see you next year!!!
