Seasonal Surprises: Vintage Holiday Stories from Tales Well Told

Donate

About This Event

This unique one-woman show, performed by professional actress Michèle LaRue, features three vintage stories: O. Henry’s “A Chaparral Christmas Gift” transports us to Wild West California; Stephen Leacock’s “Hoodoo McFiggin’s Christmas” to a big-city boarding house; and Mary E. Wilkins Freeman’s “The Balsam Fir” to hardscrabble Eastern Massachusetts.

A Chicago native, LaRue returned long ago to her ancestors’ East Coast, straight from the University of Kansas, where she earned her degree in Acting. She is a longtime member of Actors’ Equity Association and SAG-AFTRA. As a writer and editor, she has collaborated on many notable theatre books and periodicals. 

Appropriate for ages 12+
