Home for Christmas - An A Cappella Musical Holiday Celebration

Ruston's Piney Hills Harmony Chorus of Sweet Adelines will present "Home for Christmas" in Monroe's Strauss Theatre at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Dec. 15. A mix of religious and secular seasonal songs are on the award-winning group's program, ranging from "Silent Night" and "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" to "White Christmas" and "Merry Christmas, Darling." Featured guest performer will be bagpiper Scott Arvin, of Lake Providence. Included among his repertoire are "Amazing Grace" and a medley spotlighting "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," "The Little Drummer Boy" and "We Three Kings of Orient Are." The show is sponsored by Farmerville's Union General Hospital and will benefit MedCamps of Louisiana, a non-profit organization providing residential camping experience free of charge to children living with special needs. Mason Andrews, of Monroe, who completed "Mason’s Mission" for MedCamps, will appear as a special guest. This summer he became the youngest person to fly solo around the world, with the aim of raising awareness and funds for MedCamps. Trent Langhofer, executive director of West Monroe's Christian Counseling Center, will serve as master of ceremonies for the biennial show.
