Gateway Theatre celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival with its annual afternoon of music, creative activities and festive fun – Mid-Autumn Melodies on September 20th.
The Mid-Autumn Melodies afternoon begins with the family-friendly musical event in the Minoru Chapel. Performers Jason Sakaki and Tiana Jung with musician Clare Wyatt have prepared a one-day only concert of magical melodies from Disney and musicals. Guests will be treated to an hour of songs including “Make a Man Out of You” from Mulan, “Love is an Open Door” from Frozen, “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana, “Alone in the Universe” from Seussical and more. Making it a fun interactive event the audience will be invited to join in and sing along for a few of these fun songs.
After the concert, guests are invited to keep humming as they make their way across to Gateway Theatre where they can get creative with a paper lantern craft while enjoying complimentary mooncakes from Gateway’s beloved sponsor, Anna’s Cake House.
Prepare and decorate a lantern to take with you for your own mid-autumn celebrations on the Moon Festival (September 25).
