The 12th annual Christmas at DePaul performances kicked off Thursday, Dec. 6, 2018, at the St. Vincent de Paul Parish Church in Lincoln Park. Christmas at DePaul is the retelling of the birth of Christ in word and song. The event is offered as a gift to the community and guests are asked to donate either money or food items to support the St. Vincent de Paul Parish Food Pantry. Each year a student is chosen from The Theatre School to narrate the sacred story as selections of classic holiday music celebrating the birth of Christ are performed by the DePaul Community Chorus accompanied by student and alumni musicians from the School of Music.
