Prima Sets "Illumination"

Prima Theatre will present "Illumination," an immersive holiday concert experience, from Friday, Dec. 2, to Sunday, Dec. 18, at the handicapped-accessible theater, 941 Wheatland Ave., Lancaster.

The production will feature singers, instrumentalists, and a baby grand piano at the heart of the theater-in-the-round. Hundreds of candles will add to the atmosphere.

Prima's executive artistic producer, Mitch Nugent, is directing the concert experience. He is joined by associate director and choreographer Kristin Pontz. The concert will feature vocalists from across the country, including Melrose Johnson, Sarah Shelton, Joshua William Green, Brendan Coulter, and swings Luke Yellin and Wendi Yellin. The virtuosic pianist Ellington Carthan has joined Prima from Washington, D.C., after completing a two-year stint as artist-in-residence at the Strathmore. Carthan will be joined by a guitarist, cellist, and percussionist. Music arrangements are by former Prima NextGen intern Ali Murphy, now a professional musician. The set design is by Brigid Reilly.
