"The Stockton University Performing Arts Center is thrilled to present a truly festive lineup for December that celebrates the many facets of the holiday season," said PAC director Anjanette Christy. "With guest artists and student performers sharing their talents across our stage, this season's variety of performances reflects the rich diversity and spirit of our community — making Stockton's Performing Arts Center the perfect destination for holiday entertainment this year."

The LeeVees Hanukkah - The Festival of Lights just got brighter with the LeeVees scheduled to take over the mainstage of Stockton University's Performing Arts Center on Sunday, December 7 at 2:00pm.

Audiences can expect a performance full of laughter, energy and fresh music to celebrate the holiday season from the Jewish groups' hit album "Chanukah Rocks," which NPR called "the best holiday record of the decade."

Tickets are $30, $27 for senior citizens (65+) and military, $25 for Stockton alumni, $20 for Stockton faculty and staff, $18 for youth 17 and under and $12 for Stockton students.
