Event Spotlight: 'Holiday in the 'Ville' Musical Performance
Somerville Public School students and alumni will perform at the Somerville Theatre to support the music programs in the district.
From Alan Ball, a writer in Somerville who teaches creative writing and helps run a student newspaper at the Healy School:
The students and alumni of the Somerville Public Schools' music department will pay back the community for its support of their education on Saturday, Nov. 26, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Somerville Theatre, in Davis Square.
'Holiday in the Ville,' a Tom Taylor production, is their fundraiser in support of ongoing expansion of the music program that has benefited them as musicians, and seeing to it that the practice can continue of providing music lessons to all interested students whether or not they can pay for an instrument rental.
