Sebastiani Theatre open house Saturday

The Sebastiani Theatre is hosting its Holiday Wonderland open house from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 27, for cookies, hot apple cider and hot chocolate and to experience the holiday décor.

Artist Susan Bellach once again has transformed the Sebastiani Theatre into a magical winter holiday fairyland.

Featured in the entryway are holiday garlands and the glittery Tree of a Thousand Lights. In the lobby more sparkling lights greet patrons with a miniature Santa’s Village – in actuality, a metropolis – complete with a mini Sebastiani Theatre, Witchie Poo’s house, an enchanting moving carousel, and tiny skaters.

The entire theater, including the concession and auditorium stage areas, is aglow with lights and decorations arranged by Bellach. 

Bellach has been decorating the theater for both Halloween and Christmas for many years using decorations from her own personal collections. Whenever Bellach is awhirl with decorating at the Sebastiani Theatre, the general advice to all others present is: “Don’t stand still too long or Susan will decorate you!” 

Admission is free, although donations to the Sebastiani Theatre Foundation are invited.

The Sebastiani Theatre, is located at 476 First St. E.
