Home For The Holiday’s With Edmund Bagnell – New Performance Added!

As the holidays approach, it’s the perfect time to start planning how you’ll spend them with your loved ones. This year, along with our production of White Christmas, we’re thrilled to bring also welcome back to Clear Space singer and violinist Edmund Bagnell, whose show Home for the Holidays on December 8 and 9 will add sparkle and delight to the season. Plus, a limited number of tickets remain for an exclusive private meet and greet with Edmund prior to the Sunday evening performance.

Clear Space originally scheduled performances at 7 p.m. on both December 8 and 9, but by popular demand, we’ve added one more performance: Monday, December 9 at 9 p.m. The show is a joyful 75-minute program, so enjoy a great dinner in Rehoboth Beach before and then close out your night with the show!

Accompanied by pianist Mark Hartman, Edmund’s Home for the Holidays will delight you with music and humor, featuring selections from his 2020 USA Today top ranked holiday album Christmas at Home – including seasonal favorites such as “The Man with the Bag,” “The Nutcracker Suite,” “Christmas is Here,” some original holiday tunes, and a few non-holiday surprises. If Edmund looks familiar, it may be from his years appearing here as one quarter of the sensational string quartet Well Strung!

In addition to Edmund’s three performances, limited tickets remain for a VIP reception on Sunday, December 8th, from 4:30 to 6:30 PM. Enjoy drinks and delicious catering in a private home in Rehoboth Beach just a short drive from the theater. Only 40 tickets for the reception are available, so be sure to reserve your spot as soon as possible.

Performances are Sunday Dec. 8th (7 p.m.), Monday Dec. 9th (7 p.m.), and the newly added performance on Monday, Dec. 9th (9 p.m.)!
Tickets are $30. VIP reception is an added $70 for a total price of $100.

Clear Space donors, purchase your tickets by phone at (302) 227-2270 for access to reserved seats for existing donors.
