Sherman Playhouse Presents A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS IN WALES, 12/3

On December 3, The Sherman Playhouse will, for the first time, present a show during the Holiday Season. The Playhouse is staging the classic and heartwarming Holiday tale, A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS IN WALES, by Dylan Thomas.

Dylan Thomas' poetic language in A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS IN WALES will bring back wonderful memories of Christmases past. Despite the fact that this is a  Welsh Christmas and the music is also Welsh, Dylan Thomas has managed to universalize the very essence of Christmas as any child anywhere might perceive it. The play focuses on the story of Christmas Day itself, from its
quiet, magical beginning full of thrilling expectations to the joyous conclusion when the boy Dylan creeps up to his bed, his head filled with the
 of a perfect Christmas.

A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS IN WALES is under the direction of John Taylor of Sherman.The production features some of the region's finest actors: Spencer Hauspurg, Alyssa Svinte, and Jacqueline Stager (all Sherman), Mary Bott (Bethel), David Almquist (Sharon), Beth Lillard (Lakeside), Tommy Ovitt (Gaylordsville), Heather Mock (Danbury), Peter Pecora (Kent), and Mikki Harkin, Tony Harkin, Beth Bonnabeau, Jack Harding, and Alex Echevarria (all New Milford).
