Southington Community Theatre members
perform with Clay Aiken Tour

 Members of Southington Community Theatre, Inc will be participating in the local performance of Clay Aiken’s Joyful Noise 2005 holiday tour which hits Wallingford, on December 10, 2005 at The Chevrolet Theatre, formally the Oakdale.

 “JOYFUL NOISE 2005” is the sequel to Aiken’s first sold-out holiday tour.  The 2005 tour features songs from Aiken’s platinum-selling “Merry Christmas with Love”, the best-selling new holiday album of 2004.  The song list will differ from the 2004 tour and will include a number of songs Clay recorded for the album but did not appear on the actual CD, as well as new arrangements for some traditional favorites.

 Another new element of this year’s ‘Joyful Noise’ tour are the series of vignettes with a running storyline, written by Aiken himself.  The vignettes will feature two main characters and the supporting roles are filled by local actors.

 “I’ve always loved Christmas music and holiday songs,” says Aiken.  “And even though there’s no place like home for the holidays, I’m looking forward to touring the country with the second installment of the Joyful Noise tour.”
