Celtic Angels Christmas with the Celtic Knight Dancers & Trinity Band Ensemble
This is a joyous Broadway-style production that captivates all ages with the magic of the season. Traditional holiday and Celtic music is performed by beautiful vocalists, accompanied by a full band and world class champion Irish dancers.
These dynamic divas enthrall and delight with their jaw dropping vocals and harmonies. Musical arranger Peter Sheridan(Cavan, Celtic Thunder) ingeniously marries the old and new worlds with traditional and contemporary Irish and Christmas tunes.
The Celtic Knight Dancers, featuring former lead dancers of Riverdance, seem to defy gravity as they command the stage with their powerful, percussive presence. Under the direction of Irish Step Dance Director, Sarah Costello (Belfast, ADCRG), their rhythm and artistry are breathtaking.
The talented Trinity Band Ensemble brings the show to life. Their backing of both singers and dancers is perfection.
Numerous costume changes and holiday scenery make the show a spectacular visual treat.
Written, directed and choreographed by Dublin native, Louise Barry (Dublin, The Diddley Idols / National Theatre) this wonderfully nostalgic journey will having you singing along and tapping your toes.

Built-in 1925, in the grand architectural style of Beaux-Arts Classical Revival, the Simon Theatre provided a splendid setting for many theatrical performances, film screenings and ballroom dances. The James Simon family commissioned Houston architect Alfred C. Finn, whose career included designing a number of prominent Houston buildings as well as the San Jacinto Monument, to design the theatre for the community of Brenham. Today, after a meticulous million-plus dollar renovation, the glamour and grand style lives on for future generations in the newly named Barnhill Center at Historic Simon Theatre.
