Nov. 14—LUMBERTON — A former Miss North Carolina, an American Idol semi-finalist and an X-Factor Top 40 contender will be among those taking the Carolina Civic Center Historic Theater stage in this year's production of the 11th Annual Robeson County Christmas Show.
This year's installment will begin on Dec. 9 and run for two consecutive weekends.
The annual holiday musical revue is "ideal for the entire family" and features regional performers singing and dancing in the holidays. The show includes the staged dancing of the "Civettes" — The Civic Center's version of the Rockettes — as well as "exhilarating" performances by the show's adult and youth ensembles.
This year's show features former Miss North Carolina Rebekah Revels Lowry, X-Factor Top 40 selection Brent Tyler and American Idol semi-finalist Dontrell Briggs, as well as Chad Barnes and Addison Long.
The theater will be decorated for Christmas, and there will be appearances by Frosty the Snowman, the Grinch and Santa Claus.
Due to popular demand, an extra weekend of performances has been added to this year's edition of what has become the region's "go-to" Christmas show.
A Robeson County Christmas Show performances will be at 7 p.m. on Dec. 8-10, Dec. 16-17 with matinee shows scheduled at 1 p.m. Dec. 10, and at 3 p.m. Dec. 11.
