For perhaps the last time, the artists of Circle of Light (COL) a phenomenon envisioned and first produced by the beloved Tina Marsh over a decade ago, will present a public performance of Circle of Light. After our visionary leader passed away this year, it was uncertain what the future held for this wonderful performance work. It seemed unfathomable doing it without Tina, but eventually, we realized that we couldn’t let go of COL's message of hope, love, peace and cultural understanding; it's too timely and too important. Very recently everything fell into place allowing this performance and a chance to bring our ‘family’ together at least once more. Info follows. We hope to see you there!

'Nade Nickerson
CIRCLE OF LIGHT is a multi-ethnic and multi-talented cast of performers--many with international acclaim--who come together once a year to offer a celebration of five holiday traditions from around the world. CIRCLE OF LIGHT will enlighten, entertain, and delight with stories, song, dance, and more. Featured are Christmas around the Americas (including Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, and the U.S.); the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah; the African-American celebration of Kwanzaa; the Hindu celebration of Diwali; and the Islamic observance of Ramadan. Each observance, whether sacred or cultural in nature, is a fascinating profoundly moving human ritual.
