A DITCHFIELD FAMILY CHRISTMAS Comes to Manatee Performing Arts Center Today

By:

The Ditchfield Family Singers from Sarasota return to the Manatee Players with 'A Ditchfield Family Christmas' on Wednesday, December 18 at 2 p.m. in Stone Hall at the Manatee Performing Arts Center! Join Stephen, Bernice and the whole singing family as they bring Christmas cheer to the Manatee Players again this year. Their mix of traditional and contemporary Christmas classics will certainly get you in the Christmas mood!

They say it best themselves: "As a family, we spend a lot of time together. We travel together, we sing together, we eat together, we laugh and cry together. But of all the times and experiences we've been blessed to share with each other, there is none more special to us than being together at Christmas. Singing Christmas Carols is where it all began for the Ditchfield Family Singers and we consider it a true privilege to share this special time of year with our audiences. Our Christmas shows take you from Victorian England and the Traditional Carols through the Christmas classics made popular by all our favorite contemporary performers and of course back to a lonely hill in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago."

Tickets range from $26-$36 including facility fee for adults, $15 including facility fee for teachers and $13 including facility fee for students. Tickets may be reserved by calling 941-748-5875 Monday - Friday from 9-5 and one hour before curtain on performance days or on the Manatee Players' website: www.manateeplayers.com. All performances are at the Manatee Performing Arts Center at 502 3rd Avenue West in downtown Bradenton. Reserve your seats early so you won't be disappointed when the big day arrives.
