After three weeks of travel and over 4,000 miles from home, a young flight cadet finds himself in the most unlikely of places; Caron, Saskatchewan. The year is 1942 and Luftwaffe bombing campaigns have forced the Royal Air Force to move their flight training schools to locations across Canada. Grappling with the pressures of his training and the dangers facing his family back in England, our hero carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. Feeling helpless, he must learn to lay his fears at the feet of an infant born in a stable two thousand years ago..
We are delighted to welcome you back to Briercrest College and Seminary’s annual holiday celebration and to announce the return of our original dramatic Christmas musicals!
Christmas in Caron, 1942 is inspired by the true stories of young RAF pilots and their exploits at the No. 33 Caron Elementary Flight Training School. Combining newly composed music with familiar wartime tunes, this original dramatic musical will connect audiences to our shared local history and shared hope in Christ. Take in the sights and sounds of Briercrest's full orchestra and mass choir on the very location where our story is set and feel the spirit of the season fill your heart.
Join us on November 30th at 2:30pm or 7:00pm in the historic Hildebrand Chapel at Briercrest College and Seminary in Caronport, Saskatchewan. At the Hildebrand Chapel at the Briercrest College and Seminary in Caronport, SK.
