Lumberton theater adds extra weekend to Christmas show

LUMBERTON — The Carolina Civic Center Historic Theater in downtown Lumberton will hold its 12th Annual Robeson County Christmas Show starting Dec. 7 and running for two consecutive weekends.

The annual holiday musical revue is ideal for the entire family and features regional performers singing and dancing in the holidays. The show includes staged dancing of the “Civettes” as well as performances by the show’s adult and youth ensembles.

This year’s show features former Miss North Carolina Rebekah Revels Lowry, X-Factor Top 40 selection Brent Tyler and American Idol semi-finalist Dontrell Briggs, as well as Chad Barnes and the theater’s 2023 My Time to Shine Talent Competition winner Addison Long. The theater will be decorated for Christmas, and there will be appearances by Frosty the Snowman, the Grinch and Santa Claus. An extra weekend of performances has been added to this year’s edition of what has become one of the region’s most popular Christmas shows.
