“It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.”

 

― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

Our performance this year is a fundraiser for the theatre as we begin the move to our new home. A lot is having to be done to turn our new location into a functional space. We are optimistic that we'll be back with live performances in the second half of 2021. Please help us make that happen!

 

Viewing is by donation - so you decide what is right for you and your family this year.

A Christmas Carol  livestream FAQ

What is it?

This year our traditional performance of A Christmas Carol was online!  We had one live performance that was streamed on December 5th.

I missed the livestream on the 5th.  Can I still watch the show?
Yes! There is only one live performance but you can make a donation and watch the recording which will be available to watch through January 2020. To gain access to the show, a donation to Valley Center Stage via Eventbrite

How does it work?
Tickets by donation are available through January 6, the 12th day of Christmas.  After you make a donation a link for the show will be emailed to you, manually.  After December 5th, please allow 24 hours for the link, or 48 if it overlaps with Christmas.  The recording can be watched through January 2021.

What happens after I make a donation?  How do I get access? 
VCS will email a YouTube link to you on the evening of 12/4 for the Livestream.  Tickets must be purchased at least an hour before the show if you would like to watch the show live as this is a manual process.

Can I watch a recording of A Christmas Carol more than once?
Yes!  We will leave the recorded version of the show up on YouTube through January 2021. 

 

I clicked on a link from an old newsletter and it said I couldn't buy tickets.  What's going on?  Can I still watch the show?
Yes, you can still make a donation and watch the show.  We originally used BPT but decided to change vendors due to some concerns about delayed payments.  If you made a donation via BPT, everything is fine, but we have closed our BPT event listing and ask that donations go through Eventbrite.


Who do I contact if I am having ticketing trouble and need help? 
If you need help, you can email  support@valleycenterstage.org  or leave a message at (425) 200-8936.  If you have a question that should be included in the FAQ, feel free to reply to this newsletter directly.
