Welcome Yule: Midwinter Celebration

For 35 years, Pioneer Valley’s Welcome Yule: A Midwinter Celebration has been celebrating the return of the sun with a show full of music, dance, song and story. Our cast of adults and children, supported by our faithful volunteers, present a lively show to brighten up the cold winter season.

This year finds us in a forest with magical and mythical beasts in the form of puppets large and small as we tell a tale of the importance of music in our lives. Written by Liz Smith, this year’s program will include traditional songs and dances as well as new material from Rose Sheehan, Welcome Yule’s founder, and Colin De la Barre. As ever, the Abbots Bromley Horn dance and border morris will be performed by Juggler Meadow Morris, and a sword dance and some social dancing will be performed by the cast.

Our audience enjoys the dances and stories as they sing along with us on the now- familiar carols and join us in laughter at the mummers play. They leave the theater ready to face the winter.

Come and join your friends and neighbors as we bring each other strength, joy and hope for the new year! Friday and Saturday, December 13th and 14th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, December 15th at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for children 5 – 16 years and seniors.
