MANSFIELD, OHIO. The Renaissance Performing Arts association proudly presents the 23rd annual Christmas with the Mighty Wurlitzer concert on Tuesday, December 4th at 1:00PM in the historic Renaissance Theatre. This concert is free to the public and a great way to usher in the holiday season.
WMAN on-air personality Rusty Cates will emcee the program and lead the audience sing-along. Featured on the program performing holiday favorites are organist Donnie Rankin, IV, vocalist Adena Williams, organist Betty Keppler, a Christmas Sing-A-Long, and other surprises. Christmas with the Mighty Wurlitzer is presented by The Renaissance Performing Arts Association with promotional support provided by WMAN-AM 1400.
The Renaissance Theatre's pipe organ was originally built in Wurlitzer's North Tonawanda, New York factory in 1928 for Warner Brothers Vitaphone Company and installed in the Sunset Boulevard Studio in Hollywood in 1929. It was originally built for scoring "talkies" and beefing up the studio orchestra. The Renaissance acquired the organ in the spring of 1985.
