Surviving The Holidays With CGMC

What would happen to anyone stuck for the holiday season on a remote tropical island with fifty singing men and an assortment of unusual natives bent on ruthlessly eliminating each other until there is only one survivor?

That fantasy comes to life this holiday season in Survivor Christmas, the Connecticut Gay Men’s Chorus holiday event to be presented on Saturday, December 9, at 8 pm, at the Lyman Center at Southern CT State University in New Haven; Sunday, December 10, at 4 pm, at the Quick Center at Fairfield University; Saturday, December 16, at 8 pm, at the Wallace Stevens Theater in The Hartford Complex in Hartford; and Sunday, December 17, at 4 pm, at Ives Auditorium in White Hall on the campus of Western CT State University in Danbury.

CGMC audiences who journey to this island will meet its lifestyle goddess Martha, an illuminated quadruped called Rudolph, a Mr Kringle and his elfin disciples, and a fat guy named Richard everyone seems very nervous about. Survivor Christmas will feature an assortment of traditional holiday melodies in new arrangements, and some decidedly untraditional song and dance as the competition to survive reaches critical mass.

Tickets for Survivor Christmas, at $25 for preferred seating and $20 for regular seating, with all seats reserved, are available by calling CGMC, which is based in New Haven, at 800/644-2462.
