The Barberettes packed the house at Maple Crest on Dec. 14 for their grand finale Christmas performance of the season. 

Led by pianist Jayne McGarrity, the 20-woman chorus delighted their audience with a wonderful mixture of sacred and secular Christmas favorites. 

Anyone who knows the “Barberettes” knows to be prepared for surprises. This year topped the charts with a dulcimer duet by Joyce Hostetler and  Alice Lora as they accompanied Kay Huber, singing “I Wonder as I Wander;” a parody of “The Nutcracker Suite” with dueling swans by Sheryl Schirmer and Louise Wineland; “Blue Christmas” sung by “guest” country star, Marlyce Gundy; and “The 12 Days of Christmas,” complete with props, by the whole chorus.   

The choreography for the production was by Janette Reineke, with narration by Nancy Yeager.
