The teen cast of Tinseltunes: A Holidazzled Cabaret will light up the Ocala Civic Theatre stage December 9-10 – then ring in 2024 downtown on New Year’s Eve!

The Academy at Ocala Civic Theatre is pleased to collaborate with the Brick City Cabaret Company in this program of fabulously festive favorites. Since 2006, BCCC has featured some of our region’s finest vocal talent. This fall, their seasoned singers have been teaching our students how to shine bright in the spotlight, performing in classic cabaret style.

Tinseltunes is directed by Jessica Mongerio and Jason Bartosic, co-artistic directors of BCCC. Under their leadership, our Tinseltunes cast has created an original program of solos, duets, and group numbers to celebrate the holidays and get audiences in a marvelously merry mood.

This spectacular set of swanky songs includes old and new classics like “I'll Be Home For Christmas,” “Winter Wonderland,” “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” “Never Fall in Love With an Elf,” “Christmas Blues,” “Sparklejollytwinklejingly,” “Sisters” from White Christmas, and of course “White Christmas” itself – among many others!

The talented young cast of Tinseltunes (ages 13-17) includes Estella Cavalier, Valynn Flaherty, Terryn Ginder, Suriana Im, Hunter Leary, Aaron Lowe, Maren Miller, Kaitlyn Nast, Harlem Nation, Jalis Redmond, and Maiyah Smith.

Tinseltunes is presented in part by OCT’s ACT 4, whose support helps make possible the classes and programs of The Academy at Ocala Civic Theatre.

There will be three performances of Tinseltunes at OCT:
Saturday, December 9 at 2 p.m.
Saturday, December 9 at 7 p.m.
Sunday, December 10 at 2 p.m.
Tickets go on sale Monday, November 13 at $20 for adults and $10 for ages 18 and younger. Admission includes holiday treats, hot cocoa, and cider.

Buy tickets through the OCT box office, over the phone at (352) 236-2274 or in person Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. To buy online at any time, visit ocalacivictheatre.com.

As an encore, Tinseltunes will ring in the new year downtown as part of Ocala Main Street’s First Night celebration. The cast will shine in two fabulously festive (and free!) half-hour performances on Sunday, December 31 at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., both at IHMC (15 SE Osceola Avenue).

Join us to ring in the holidays at OCT, then again downtown to say cheers to the new year with our sparkling student singers!
