DAY TRIP – A Flatrock Playhouse Christmas
Join us for a great day full of your favorite Classic Christmas Music as we travel to Western North Carolina to the State Theater of North Carolina, the Flat Rock Playhouse. The annual Christmas show features seasonal classics, singing, and dancing to kick-off your holiday season. It’s like a big, warm holiday HUG! The tradition everyone loves continues with the same great holiday cheer to put you in the Christmas spirit. All new renditions of your holiday favorites will help you get those sleigh bells jinglin,’ and chestnuts roasting! During the 1940s and 1950s, the beautiful Western North Carolina region grew, and so did the popularity of the Flat Rock Playhouse in Hendersonville. In 1961, by Act of the North Carolina General Assembly, the Flat Rock Playhouse was officially designated as The State Theatre of North Carolina. The Theater is a quaint and intimate setting for any show, and all of the seats are great. We will spend some time at A Day in the Country, a delightful shop and cafe that is a favorite among tourists and locals. We will enjoy an included lunch and have some free time for shopping at this fun & eclectic shop.
The price of the Day Trip, $175, includes round-trip motorcoach transportation from the Daniel’s Depot in Lula, GA, lunch, and a ticket to the show. Day Trips are non-refundable.
Ticket sales close on October 25th
