Holiday theater lights up the stage just minutes away.
Broadway Rose Theatre Company opens The Silver Belles on its New Stage in Tigard on Wednesday, November 25, 2026. The warm, small-town Christmas musical about friendship and community runs through December 20, just minutes from Tualatin.
Live theater is one of the great hidden assets of living in the Tualatin Valley, and this holiday season it steps into the spotlight. Broadway Rose Theatre Company, the region's year-round professional musical theater, presents The Silver Belles on its New Stage at 12850 SW Grant Ave in Tigard from November 25 through December 20, 2026. Preview night is Wednesday, November 25, opening night is Friday, November 27, and there is no performance on Thanksgiving Day, so the musical's run starts with the holiday weekend.
For Tualatin families, it is an easy evening out: a short drive across the city line to a professional production with a small-town heart. For anyone thinking about putting down roots in the area, it is also a reminder of how much arts and culture sits within reach of everyday Oregon neighborhoods.
November 25 - December 20, 2026
What is The Silver Belles about?
In the small town of Sylva Ridge, Tennessee, the beloved community Christmas pageant faces a crisis after the passing of Oralene, the woman who always held it together. Her close-knit group of friends, the Silver Belles, must come together to keep the pageant alive, and in doing so they heal old wounds just in time for the holidays.
It is a story built for the season: friendship, forgiveness, and the kind of community ties that the holidays bring into focus. Expect warm country harmonies, gentle comedy, and plenty of Christmas spirit in an intimate theater setting.
A Season of Live Performance
One musical, and a full calendar of nearby arts.
The Silver Belles is just one thread in a busy winter arts calendar around Tualatin. The Tualatin Valley Symphony continues its 2026-27 season with a holiday chamber concert on December 6 at Tigard Friends Church, giving neighbors a second live-performance option within minutes of home. Between the two, a Tualatin resident can build a genuinely local holiday tradition without braving downtown Portland traffic.
Broadway Rose has been a Pacific Northwest fixture for three decades, and its New Stage on SW Grant Ave is a comfortable, close-to-the-action venue where even the back row feels part of the show. Tickets go on sale through the company's website, and holiday performances at community theaters tend to sell out as December approaches, so booking early is the reliable move.
Why It Matters
Culture close to home is part of the Tualatin advantage.
One of the quiet pleasures of south Washington County is how much is within a 10-minute drive: professional theater in Tigard, the symphony in Tualatin, parks and the river at your doorstep, and the dining and shopping of Bridgeport Village on the city line. Buyers relocating from bigger metros often assume they need downtown Portland for a rich calendar; locals know better.
A home like 22379 SW 107th Ave puts all of it within easy reach, from the short commute to Tigard's theater district to weekend mornings on the Tualatin River greenways. If you are weighing a move to Tualatin, a holiday show is a perfect excuse to spend an evening exploring the area.
