Home for the Holidays – A Christmas Cabaret with Amy Stoner
The First Street Community Center’s Uptown Theatre is proud to be hosting a wonderful musical performer, Amy Stoner on Friday, December 9th @ 7:30pm.
We invite you to join cabaret chanteuse Amy Friedl Stoner for an evening of holiday music and laughter.
Mixing traditional Christmas songs with contemporary holiday tunes, Amy and her band will remind you of your favorite songs and introduce you to new ones.
For the performance in the Uptown Theatre this evening Amy is thrilled to be joined by Cameron Sullenberger, Luke Viertel, John Hall & Tim Crumley.
The Uptown Theatre with it’s intimate layout almost erases the separation of stage and audience to let you really feel the performance and not just watch it from a distance.

Tickets are available at:
- CarePro Pharmacy
- Bridge Bank
