September - Saturday the 12th
Beck and Funk Daniel Beck & Jessie Clark Funk

Daniel Beck's fan base is growing by leaps and bounds. He's performing all around Utah, and gaining popularity wherever he goes with his friendly and humble personality. That humility flies out the window when Daniel's onstage, as he captivates audiences and takes them to another world.His voice can be heard on EFY albums, and will soon be heard on Kenneth Cope's "Son of Man" collaboration.

The inspiring music of Jessie Clark Funk has captivated the hearts of youth and adults around the world. Jessie's stirring voice and inspiring songs have made her one of the most beloved recording artists in LDS music; and a favorite youth speaker and performer. Her first two CDs, Clay In His Hands & Better Than I, have garnered numerous Pearl Awards.

October - Saturday the 10th
Christensen Kerry Christensen

Kerry Christensen is not your typical yodeler. He is perhaps the only full time yodeler in the world that specializes in all styles of yodeling. He can be strictly alpine, or he can put on his Stetson hat and do an all-cowboy yodeling show. However, many of Kerry's fans say that their favorite show is when Kerry mixes up the styles. You will hear cowboy, alpine, cajun, Latin, Jewish, Hawaiian, jazz, classical, and his always popular humorous yodeling renditions.

Potato Growers Spud Bar Social begins at 5:30 pm


November - Friday the 13th & Saturday the 14th
GHS DRAMA DEPARTMENT

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever tells the story of 6 children (the Herdmans) who are poorly shaved and not exposed to any good influences since their parents are lower-class. They go to church for the first time merely because they find out snacks are offered at Sunday School. Instead, they find themselves cast in lead roles during the Christmas Pageant. Everyone thinks the Pageant will turn out to be a disaster, but they are pleasantly surprised. Directed by Blair Findlay.

Season tickets holders are given admission to Friday's performance, but seating is not reserved.

December - Saturday the 5th
Plaid Forever Plaid

Back in the 50's, there were four young men who loved to sing. Sparky, Smudge, Jinx, and Frankie met in high school. Discovering a shared love for music and entertaining, they banded together and dreamed of becoming like their musical idols. They rehearsed in the basement of a plumbing supply company to become FOREVER PLAID -- a name that evoked the traditional values of family, home, and harmony. Tragically, on the way to picking up their custom-made tuxedos for their first large gig, they were hit by a bus and killed. It is at that moment that our story begins, as FOREVER PLAID is allowed to come back and put on the show they never were able to perform.
