Gastonia, NC (WNN) - Starting this weekend, Friday, November 13, 2026, the First United Methodist Church of Gastonia Theatre will be presenting the classic Les Misérables at the theatre across the road from the church, located at 162 E Main Ave, Gastonia, NC 28052.
The classic tale began as a novel by Victor Hugo in 1862. Over 100 years later, it was adapted for the stage in 1980, premiering at the Palais des Sports in Paris. How much contention can be caused by a loaf of bread? Les Mis answers this in full. This catalyst leads to the fairly tragic events that befall its main character, Jean Valjean, and those around him, such as his adopted daughter, Cosette. It follows their journeys through hardship, redemption, and love, exploring a host of other themes over its nearly three-hour runtime.
The production will take place over two weekends, with evening and afternoon performances available.
Unlike traditional staged productions, this will be done concert-style, with an emphasis on the music and singing. The shows are free, but donations are encouraged and help keep them coming back year after year. Tickets are not guaranteed at the door, and shows often sell out, so get yours here before they run out!
