Our Worship services are enhanced through a variety of performance arts. Throughout the year, we enjoy dramatic readings, dance, musical soloists, and the Ohio Brass (resident Ohio University faculty brass quintet). Annual guest organ recitalists (many being winners of the National American Guild of Organist's Competition) have been presented since 1985. Our church organist, Janice Robison, presents after-church recitals four times a year.

The Chancel Choir sings for all Sunday morning services, from September to early June, and for special services (e.g. Maundy Thursday, Christmas Eve). Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings from 7:00-8:30 p.m. and on Sunday mornings at 9:45 a.m. Persons interested in joining the choir should contact Choir Director David Tadlock at (740) 797 0180 or send an email to dmtstudio@aol.com or call the church office at (740) 593 3351.

A summer music theater group was formed in 2003 by Choir Director David Tadlock with support of First Presbyterian Church. Now in its fifth season, the *Genesis Theater Project* Has presented many colorful musicals including Godspell, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Children of Eden, Pippin, and Little Women. Young people throughout the Athens area audition for, and perform in, these outstanding productions.
