Our church loves to bring a large group to this event. How does that work?
We are delighted to welcome large groups and we can very easily accommodate. Many make an evening or day of it and enjoy the Christmas Buffet at Main Street as well. No discounts are provided for large groups, but purchasing tickets as soon as they are available will allow your group to sit together for the performance, and we can offer reserved seating for your buffet. Just call 888-424-3977, and we’ll take care of your group.
Is there a discount for senior citizens?
No.
May I take pictures?
No. We do not allow personal video equipment or cameras of any kind in the Worship Center. The flashes from cameras, as well as the power/recording lights on video cameras, are distracting to the performers and can actually be dangerous for them. Photography/video equipment also hinders the enjoyment of other guests watching the performance.
Do you use special effects?
Strobe lights, fog, loud noises, lasers and other special effects are used during the performance.
