EMSO & ACT Present Holiday Concert Full of Music and Storytelling

Woodbury-based East Metro Symphony Orchestra (EMSO), in collaboration with Applause Community Theatre (ACT), is pleased to present Uh-Oh, Here Comes Christmas!, a musical concert featuring excerpts from the play by David Caldwell and Ernest Zulia. The performance will be held Sunday, December 5, 2021, at 3:00 p.m. at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, 2499 Helen Street North, North St. Paul, MN. Admission to this concert is free.

This is the second time EMSO and ACT have partnered to present a collaborative program

Comes Christmas! is a series of vignettes about the joys and turmoil of the holiday season.
This special performance will feature EMSO presenting a collection of favorite holiday carols,
led by EMSO’s music director and conductor Craig Hara, alongside ACT performing excerpts
from the play, directed by Gary Davis.
