SMCT Carolers’ 2015 schedule
SMCT Carolers are moving into modern times for at least part of the 2015 season, thanks in large part to our participation in this year’s production of A Christmas Carol 2015 on December 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19 and 20.
We will still be singing at our traditional venues and adding a few new venues, however, we will mostly dress like the modern celebrants that we are, this year.
- Christmas in the Valley on November 29 at 1 pm at the Foster Country Club
- The North Scituate Village Candlelight Stroll on December 4, from 5 to 9 pm.
- The Purple Cat in Chepachet, RI on December 10 & 12
- Courthouse Center for the Arts in West Kingston, RI on December 19 at 1 pm
If you want to catch the Victorian version you are used to seeing, plan on catching the Victorian Caroler Quartet (Kim Barrette, soprano – Heather Hopkins, alto – Walt Galloway, bass & Steve Goulet, Sr., tenor). They will be performing at:
- Blackstone River Theater Holiday Craft Fair in Cumberland, RI, Saturday, December 5, 12:00-12:30 pm or 12:30-1:00 pm;
- Blackstone River Theater Annual Christmas Celebration, Saturday, December 12, 8:00 pm, and Sunday, December 13, 7:00 pm.
Please feel free to come sing along with us, as we raise our voices and spirits in the time honored caroling tradition meant to push back the dark of the year.

Foster Follies 2015 Auditions [extended]
Calling all performers! We look forward to another night of great entertainment by local talent. Join us for our annual Foster Follies on Friday, April 10, 2015 at 7pm, at Foster Country Club.
If you sing, dance, do magic, tell jokes or have any other family-friendly talent, come audition and earn a spot in our show.
Auditions will be held at the Eddy Building, Howard Hill Road, Foster, on January 23 (7-9pm) and January 24 (1-4pm).
Update
The Auditions Committee for Foster Follies enjoyed many fine acts during our auditions on Friday, January 23 and Saturday, January 24. We will announce the names of these acts in upcoming communications.
Given Saturday’s weather, we know that there are some who were unable to audition and we are pleased to announce that there are still a few slots available for performers. We welcome any acts, but we’d really like to increase the “variety” in our “variety” show. Comedians, skits, groups, instrumentals, or other family-friendly acts will complement our roster that includes many talented young singers. So, no matter what you do, we’d love to hear from you.
We will accept video auditions through Saturday, February 7 at 11:59 pm. We ask that you upload to a YouTube channel that you create and then email the link to us. If you cannot do this, then contact us via email for more information. Please use this email address for questions and for the link to your video: email hidden; JavaScript is required (NOTE: An earlier version said that the email was email hidden; JavaScript is required.
