The Sheen Center for Thought & Culture presented “Christmas on Bleecker: Celebrating the Reason,” on Monday, December 5, hosted by actor and award-winning musician Frank Shiner, and featuring performances by Vanessa Williams, Darlene Love, and “America’s Irish Tenor,” Ronan Tynan.

An annual fundraising event, proceeds from “Christmas on Bleecker” help support the Sheen Center’s mission and fund Sheen Center programming that includes all genres of music, dance, visual art, film, and family theater.

Composer, producer, and keyboardist Henry Hey served as the event’s music director. Hey, who recently performed with Bruce Springsteen during his “Take Over” performance on Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show” also played piano and led Christmas on Bleecker’s all-star band.

The Sheen Center for Thought & Culture is a venue of the Archdiocese of New York, where art and spirituality meet. Located at 18 Bleecker Street in Manhattan, The Sheen Center offers a vibrant mix of theater, film, music, art, family programming, and talk events.

The Seven Last Words service will begin at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral at 12:00 p.m.
