Leisure Hour Club Celebrates Holidays with Christina Bourne
The Carson City Leisure Hour Club celebrates the holiday season and the continuing celebration of its 120th year on Wednesday, Dec. 21 with special guest performer Christina Bourne. The meeting is preceded by a buffet dinner at 6:30 pm in the Carson Nugget Capitol Ballroom.
Following the Club’s dinner, Christina Bourne will perform some holiday classics along with show tunes including: O Mio Babbino Caro by Puccini, I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables, Impossible Dream from Man of La Mancha, Rockin Around the Christmas Tree, Mary Did You Know?, White Christmas, and O Holy Night. Ms. Bourne is widely recognized for her performances with the Western Nevada Musical Theater Company during the past several years.
In addition to playing Winifred Banks in the WNMTC's production of Mary Poppins, the hilarious Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn in The Music Man, the stern Madame Giry in The Phantom of the Opera and the clueless Mary Sunshine in Chicago, she has joined the cast in multiple shows, including a featured role as Kate in Oklahoma (2011) and a featured soloist and understudy for Cosette in the WNMTC’s production of Les Misérables.
She has also entertained audiences at a solo concert at the University of Nevada, Reno entitled An Evening with Emma Nevada. Other UNR credits include Gretel in Hansel and Gretel and Nella in Gianni Schicchi.
As Miss Nevada 2003, Chrissy was a contestant in the Miss America Pageant. She teaches music for the Carson City School District and is on the board of directors for the Pituitary Network Association.
If you would like to attend the event, please call Dorothy Link at (775) 885-2542 no later than Thursday, December 15th to make your reservation. Reservations for dinner are required. The Leisure Hour Club, established in September of 1896, is Carson City’s oldest continuously operating social organization. Its goal is promoting knowledge on important issues, science, music and literature.
