Description
We invite you to join us for the 31st Year of THE FORGOTTEN CAROLS! The tradition continues!
Event Details
Touring since 1991, this timeless Christmas tradition brings to life the story of Constance Louise Chamberlain, a nurse who hasn’t laughed or cried in over 30 years. But that all changes when she meets, and cares for, a homeless man with dementia (Uncle John, as he likes to be called) who insists he’s been alive for over two thousand years. Uncle John recounts the story of Christ’s birth through these Forgotten Carols sung from the perspective of his “friends” the Inn Keeper, a Shepherd, Handel and others, taking Connie Lou on a life-altering journey. As Uncle John struggles to remember all the reasons why he feels compelled to share these unknown carols with his nurse, she discovers what her heart has forgotten about the true power and meaning of Christmas!

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there casting changes to the show in 2022?
Due to major health issues, Michael McLean will not be performing live in this year’s performances. Depending on his health at the time of the show, Michael may be on stage in some capacity. We are, however, excited to have Michael Young, seasoned television and stage actor, returning from our limited run in 2021 to play the role of Uncle John.
Can I bring my nursing baby or young child to the show?
The Forgotten Carols is recommended for ages 5 and older. If you choose to bring a slightly younger child, each person entering the hall must have a ticket. In order to provide a favorable experience for all attendees, NO children 2 and under, including babes-in-arms, will be allowed. Please make arrangements to leave all children 2 and under at home. And, please consider the ability of a 3 or 4-year-old to quietly enjoy the show before purchasing a ticket for him/her. We want The Forgotten Carols to be a family event, when the time is right for our young friends to join.
Do you have ASL interpreters for any of The Forgotten Carols shows?
In some venues, we can arrange ASL interpreters upon request, these are at the Dee Events Center in Ogden, UT and at the UCCU Center in Orem, UT. If you need ASL services, please attend one of these performances. Also, requests must be submitted at least 2 weeks in advance. After that time, we cannot guarantee that we can accommodate the request.
Do you offer hearing assistance devices at any Forgotten Carols shows?
No, we do not offer these devices.
If I can not use my ticket, can I get a refund?
We do not offer refunds on ticket purchases.
Tickets are transferrable.
If a show is cancelled by the Producers due to illness or inclement weather, you will receive a refund for your ticket purchase. If the show, however, runs as scheduled and you choose not to attend because of weather conditions, your own illness, or any other reason you will not receive a refund. Note that shows are very rarely cancelled.
If local Covid mandates shift and begin to require that patrons wear masks and/or require that patrons be vaccinated, we will uphold those requirements. Please note that we will not refund ticket purchases due to a change in these requirements. You are welcome to sell your ticket to someone else if you choose not to attend due to a change in Covid protocol by your local government.
