“We are travelling back in time to 19th century New York City. Seneca Village was a charming rural community founded by African Americans in 1825, and thrived for 30 years before the Parks Commission came in with plans for Central Park. Stage Director Michelle Matlock has crafted a story of joy and resilience inspired by this historic Village, and Music Director Megan Oberfield is leading our talented Chorus. The show includes a delightful blend of African American, Irish, and German traditions. Don't miss this incredible production. It’s Christmastime in Seneca Village!”
