After winning a national competition in 1999, Voices of the Heart and their Director Laura Stevens decided to take the attention and momentum of that moment and do something good...Thus was born the idea for a Christmas Show that would use children's talents to help sick and abused children. So, in 1999, Voices of the Heart and cast, presented the First Annual Heart of Christmas Show .
100% of the tickets sales, over $8,000, was donated to the Friends of Children at the Cape Fear Valley Medical Foundation. Since then, the Heart of Christmas Show has raised over $200,000 dollars for Friends of Children, The Child Advocacy Center plus many other children's agencies and our public schools!
The 36 member cast of talented young singers and dancers work hard to bring you a quality Christmas show equally compared to those and Myrtle Beach and Branson, MO. The difference is that the show has children, as its performers, ranging in ages 6-19. The professionalism of these young artists will delightfully surprise you as they eagerly display their talents. There is a 9 year old Elvis that comes out on a Harley...there are cute and funny songs... even one about a puppy...it snows on stage...there are delightful costumes and choreography and much more that make the show fun and fast paced!
The quality and magnitude of this production continues to exceed audiences' expectations with its talented young cast. The Heart of Christmas Show demonstrates the fun and childlike anticipation of Christmas in the first half, then, it progresses into the Christmas story portrayed through beautifully choreographed songs combined with the amazing singing talents of Voices of the Heart. Our audiences experience the true meaning of Christmas!!!!
Join Voices of the Heart and the cast of the Heart of Christmas Show in their efforts to help children. This is a great project with a threefold purpose... to help sick and abused children in our area, to give talented children from our area a chance to be in a professional musical production to work on their talent and it gives our area a quality, New York styled Christmas show, full of whistles and bells, that the whole family will enjoy whether young or old. Local businesses support this project by buying ads in the program book or by donating to this great worthwhile project.
Also available for children are 2 Music Camps offered every summer directed by Laura Stevens for more information please visit the Voices Of The Heart website.
