It’s time for Christmas cheer. NMSU Theatre Arts is proud to present “Stay Home For The Holidays: A Holiday Cabaret,” directed by Lisa Hermanson and Christa Fredrickson. This combination of song and story not only features classic holiday songs you know and love, but also shares holiday memories of real people in real places. Hermanson reached out to the NMSU and Las Cruces community to collect personal stories of favorite holiday memories, which she wove together in this devised piece. Featuring nearly two dozen original, true stories, “Stay Home For The Holidays” is a celebration of our community, our memories, and what makes the holidays truly special – even apart. 

“Stay Home For The Holidays” will stream at 7 p.m. every evening starting Dec. 2 through Dec. 6 on YouTube. The show is approximately 45 minutes. We hope to see you there. Call 575-646-5122 during office hours for tickets and connection information. For more information, contact Yoli Bacon at 575-646-5122 or clabilli@nmsu.edu

The COVID-19 pandemic will prevent us from gathering for the annual Las Cruces Tree Lighting Ceremony this year. But it will not darken the tradition of City residents celebrating the holiday season by illuminating Las Cruces with thousands and thousands of Christmas lights.

The City of Las Cruces Economic Development Department has developed a project that will be staged in lieu of the City’s Tree Lighting Ceremony. The Economic Development Department has contracted with NMCO Media to conduct an engagement campaign where everyone and anyone in the community can share their holiday lights in photos or a short video.

Entries will be compiled into a video that will be presented Dec. 5 on CLC-TV, Comcast Cable channel 20 and the City’s Facebook page.All Las Crucens are invited and encouraged to show off their holiday spirit by submitting photos of Christmas trees and lights, luminarias, menorahs, or kinaras from around their home, apartment, or property. Post the photos, or short videos, on Facebook or Instagram using the hashtag #GlowTogetherLC. Posts received by Nov. 30 may have a cameo in the compilation video premiering the evening of Saturday, Dec. 5, 2020.

For information, call Liz Vega at 575/541-2361 or send an email to: Elizabeth.vega@las-cruces.org
