UPCOMING EVENTS:
A Very Durante Christmas: Nov. 15th-Nov. 30th, 2025
Join us on the train platform and be invited into Jimmy Durante’s cozy living room in the 1930s. Featuring well-known Christmas songs from the turn of the century and special guests Bing Crosby and Doris Day. You’re guaranteed to be swept into the spirit of the season and perhaps shed a tear or two for Christmases gone by.
I play Doris Day and serve as the music director for this production and the other production performed on the train platform.
The Night Before Christmas: Nov. 28th-Dec. 5th, 2025
Snuggle into your pajamas and join us for a ride through the Pennsylvania countryside as you listen to Clement C. Moore’s classic poem, “The Night Before Christmas,” enjoy some milk and cookies and a medley of Christmas carols, and maybe even see Santa Claus.
Some nights, I will read the poem and others, I will be a caroler. I also music directed for this production and made the medley sound pretty!

Reviews
From a review of Susquehanna Stage’s Anything Goes:
“Gracious Mattson delivers perhaps the most flawless vocal performance of the evening. Her beautiful tone and perfect pitch complement her portrayal of Hope, bringing a sense of authenticity to the character.”
