LEWISTON — The Sight & Sounds of Christmas concert fundraiser will have two performances the weekend of Dec. 17-18.
“Make it a holiday tradition to visit the Franco Center each year for our spectacular Christmas show,” said Elaine Roop, board president. “Our show has all the best sights and sounds of the season all rolled into one magical live production.”

Franco Center Production Director Jake Hodgkin said the overall emphasis is on an old-fashioned homestyle Christmas. “If you are looking to get in the holiday spirit, don’t miss this show,” Hodgkin said.
The show will include dramatic Christmas readings and skits by Emily Boyd, Michelle Breton, Pam Bryan, and Holden Gray; musical performances by Emma Encarnacion, Jackie Preston, Ross Cunningham, Hodgkin and Theresa Cormier; and scenes from “The Nutrcacker” and “Frozen 2” by students from The Dance Center. There will also be a live radio show, dramatized by CarlaRose Dubois, David Hanright, Randy Hun and Bob LeBlanc. Songs will be included for the audience to sing along.
