This celebration of six decades of music-making features the world premiere of “Home,” a specially commissioned work by composer Giselle Wyers, supported by a grant from the Tulalip Tribes. Written for the Everett Chorale, the new piece sets text contributed by members of the Chorale themselves — meditations on what “home” means, from “a feeling” to “where the heart is” to “being heard, being free.” The program also welcomes returning guest conductor Lee Matthews. Artistic direction by Heather MacLaughlin Garbes (Everett Chorale) and Karin Larsen (Snohomish County Youth Chorus), with D. Kim Croft and Grant Hanner accompanying.

Directed by David Alan Morrison, this hilarious show takes place on the evening of the anniversary of the Deputy Mayor of New York and his wife. When the guests start to arrive, the hosts can’t be found, and the house is in disarray.

Don’t wait! Most of our shows this season have sold out, and we expect the same with “Rumors.” You don’t want to miss out!
Tickets are $25 for Adults, $22 for Students, Seniors and Military, and $12 for Children. Purchase tickets online, by phone at (360) 322-7402, or in person at the box office Tuesday–Saturday from 2-6 p.m.
