Symphony Presents ‘A Susanville
Christmas’ Performances This Weekend
The Susanville Symphony invites you to the Methodist Church this Friday and Sunday, December 13th and 15th for ‘A Susanville Christmas,’ the latest iteration of the symphony’s annual holiday concerts.
Tickets are going fast for what has become one of the highlights of Lassen County’s holiday season. Friday night’s performance, at 7:00, is nearly sold out and there are still a handful of tickets left for the Sunday matinee at 2:30.
Artistic Director and Symphony Conductor Ben Wade says that this is his favorite concert of the year, in great part because of all of the families, home for the holidays, who come see the concerts together.
This is the 21st annual performance will feature some of our hometown’s best musicians playing your seasonal favorites – Sleigh Ride, movements of the Nutcracker, White Christmas – enough musical cheer to warm the grinchiest of hearts.

“We also have a narration of The Night Before Christmas with Phil Fetterman,” says Wade.
“The Susanville Symphony Academy of Music will play music, both the wind ensemble and the string orchestra, as a pre-concert show, in both the first and second half.”
Wade encourages families to attend the festive concert, promising a performance filled with a little something for people of all ages.
Performances will be held at the Susanville Methodist Church on South Lassen Street and tickets are $35 each ahead of time or $40 at the door. You can buy them at Margie’s Book Nook in uptown Susanville.

Canned Goods Will Admit You to Show and Help the Needy
December 9, 1939
The management of Sierra Theatre, cooperating with the 20-30 Club Christmas basket program, has generously offered to arrange admission to all children of grammar school age who will present one article of canned goods at the door for admission on Saturday afternoon.
Any child who brings one can of goods or some similar food item will be admitted to the Saturday matiness.
Showing that day will be “U-Boat 29” and Gene Autry in “Roving Tumbleweeds.” W. D. Stevens of the Sierra Theater heartily endorsed the project by the 20-30 Club and agreed to hold this matinee, Saturday December 16 in order to help the club gather enough foodstuffs to make up the fifty or more baskets they will distribute to needy families the day before Christmas.
Here’s a chance to have some fun and at the same time do a needy family some real good.
Kids, so beg, borrow or “slip out” a can of beans or anything to attend thew show.
