I am so thrilled to bring you All is Bright, our holiday offering and my first foray into theatre on film. This celebration of the season is truly a love letter to theatre. Filmed in various locations at the John Hirsch Mainstage, it pulls back the curtain to share with our audience how the magic happens. Whether showcasing the epic architecture of 174 Market Avenue, hosting a backstage concert in our beloved paint shop, or highlighting the marvelous illusions created by our fly gallery, All is Bright celebrates the great gift that art brings to our lives.

Kelly Thornton Shot over three days, this wonderful show assem- bles the extraordinary talents of local actors, singers, musicians, storytellers, crafts- people, technicians and our incredible film crew to bring joy to your holiday season.

All is Bright also reminds us that the light is returning. That even as the darkness of the winter envelops us, the warm glow of our various holiday traditions help us recall the radiance and resilience of the human heart.

We hope these songs and stories of the season bring joy and peace into your homes.

Happy Holidays from all of us,
