HUNTINGTON BEACH...As we turn the corner into the month of December, people driving along Main Street in Huntington Beach will soon be hearing the sounds of the season from the beautiful, historic, and sometimes majestic HBUHSD Auditorium located on the campus of HBHS. Wanting to spread more holiday joy throughout the community, the students of the HB Academy for the Performing Arts (HB APA) are set to dazzle theater-goers with their annual Sounds of the Season Spectacular on December 12th and 13th. This year’s performance is titled HOLIDAYS ON THE SILVER SCREEN. Since HBAPA is a district-wide magnet program for the arts, audience members might recognize performers representing Edison, Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Marina, Ocean View, and Westminster High Schools.

The 2025 Sounds of the Season: Holidays on the Silver Screen, will celebrate the holiday season around the globe and it might even include snow! The APA Orchestra will perform iconic music from films, television, and stage, featuring artists from all APA pathways (Acting, Costume Design, Dance, Dramatic Production, Media, Musical Theatre, Popular Music, Orchestra, and Technical Theatre). ! The Saturday show is extra special because it is the annual benefit concert for the EEFA (Educational Enrichment Foundation for the Arts) which supports APA as well as the vibrant arts programs offered by the HBUHSD feeder middle schools.

The times of the shows will be Friday (12/12) at 7pm and then Saturday (12/13) will have two shows, one at 2pm and another at 7pm, all happening in the historic Huntington Beach Union High School District Auditorium (1905 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648) located on the campus of HBHS. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for students/seniors at hbapa.org/see.
